| 2016-07-23 |
| [RUDAW.NET] Russia’s presidential front man, Dmitry Peskhov, said on Friday that Geneva talks on Syria will resume next week thanks to consultation among the US, Russia, and UN, adding that the prospect of sending more soldiers to Syria remains in place. "When the decision was made to cut the number of personnel of our aviation contingent in Syria, you remember the statement of both the [Russian] president and the military, who said that the temporary infrastructure there [in Syria] remained and therefore the contingent could be increased very quickly, if necessary. This will be done in accordance with the relevant tasks," Peshkov said, according to Russian state Tass news. "Such prospects [increasing Russian personnel in Syria] were declared by the president rather long ago," he added. |
