Moscow to Decide on Military Presence in Syria Depending on Damascus’ Position

MOSCOW- A decision on the Russian military presence in Syria after the end of the war on terror on its territory will be made proceeding from Damascus’s position, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov said in a TV interview on Saturday.

“When the war on terror is over and when there is no need to help Syrians in the fight against terrorism, we will be oriented to the decision of the sovereign state represented by its government: whether we are needed or whether our mission is over and the Syrian people and the Syrian leadership do not need such support,” the senior Russian diplomat said, Itar Tass reported.

 Russia responded to the request of the Syrian authorities for help in the struggle against terrorism three years ago, Bogdanov said.

Under an inter-governmental agreement on military presence, Russia has two military bases on the territory of the Arab republic: the Tartus naval logistics center and the Hmeymim airbase near Lattakia.
