This was reported by the press secretary of the Russian president Dmitry Peskov. "We continue our contacts with the Syrian authorities, the Syrian issue is on the agenda of all our international contacts. Let's say the work process is ongoing," he noted. The Kremlin spokesman added that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was recently in Ankara, where this issue was also raised during other contacts. As reported by the Regnum news agency, Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Mikhail Bogdanov noted in December 2024 that Russia expects to maintain military bases in Syria, since they play an important role in the fight against international terrorism. On February 7, Syrian Defense Minister Marhaf Abu Kasra said that the country could agree to retain Russian military bases if it would be beneficial to Damascus. |
