Syria Geopolitical Friend to Russia- Russian Researchers
MOSCOW, (ST) – Head of the Russian Eurasia Organization and President of Faculty of Sociology at Moscow State University, Professor Alexander Dugin, declared that Americans do not have the right to recognize Doha coalition, extremist and terrorist forces in Syria and offer unilateral support to them, in contrary to all rules of international law.
In an interview with SANA correspondent in Moscow yesterday Dugin, who is professor at the Russian State University assured that what had happened in Syria of events is designed to impose foreign will and its hegemony upon Syria, while the orientations of the Syrian leadership emerges of the geopolitical view and the Syrian national interests, aiming at cooperation with countries of the Eurasian region, adding that Syria is an essential component of the global geopolitical shape, not just a strategic ally of Russia and Iran.
“Russia adopts serious and responsible positions in helping the Syrian people and protecting the independence and sovereignty of Syria and preventing any foreign interference in its affairs and the Syrians realize that Russia supports them, stressing that the Americans are targeting Syria and its leadership as it maintains its sovereignty and independence and establishes relations of friendship and cooperation with Russia and Iran. This sort of relation doesn’t meet America and their local and regional allies’ satisfaction, particularly Qatar and Saudi Arabia,” the head of the organization said.
“The objectives of the United States against Syria bring to mind and remind Russians with the support that the Americans offered to separatist in Chechen,” he said.
Russia comprehends that if we abandoned Syria today, the cart will be directed to her later as the impact of targeting Iran because the three countries are interlinked in geopolitical terms,” he clarified.
“President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov mean this particular truth when talking more and more about the track because Russia is considerd a geopolitical major Eurasian country which stands against terrorists and armed opponents,” Prof. Dugin stressed.
Dugin noted to President Putin’s talk about geopolitical interests of Russia in his annual message to the Russian Parliament that he means his support for the vision of the geopolitical events in the world and that Russian policy is more consistent, realistic and resolute and determined to achieve Russia’s national interests, indicating that the meaning of geopolitics lies in the existence of fixed and continuous contradictions between the civilization of land represented by Russia and civilization of Sea represented by NATO countries and the United States .
“The Russian national geopolitical interests spoken by President Putin and Foreign Minister Lavrov contradict fully with the U.S. interests. Therefore, the west tends to support reactionary forces in the world and repeat the chaos and bloodshed as happened in Libya, Afghanistan and Iraq. It also provoks internal wars which bring suffering and tragedies to the Syrian people.Russia works to resolve the crisis in Syria through an inclusive political dialogue,” Dugin concluded.
In a similar interview with SANA correspondent, Vladislav Choregan, Head of Editorial Board of “Russia’s Soldiers Magazine” said that Syria is one of the closest allies to Russia in the Middle East pointing out to the strong relations between Russia and Syria.
Qatar and Saudi Arabia see in Syria an impediment to achieve these objectives. The two Gulf countries do what all they can to destabilize Syria with support by the United States which has recognized the coalition of Doha as a legitimate representative of the Syrian people and this is inconsistent with all the international rules and norms, Choregan clarified.
In light of this fact, the Turkish government is looking for a military pretext to intervene in the Syrian affairs with the support of NATO, whereas Turkish officials are trying to create confrontations regarding borders, pointing out that constructing the Patriot missiles systems in Turkish territory came when Russia prevented adopting a decision in the Security Council for military intervention against Syria, Choregan added.
