The meeting of Vladimir Putin and Bashar al-Assad immediately began a major international news. This is the first foreign visit after the start of Assad in the Syrian Arab Republic, the civil war in 2011. Why he chose to Moscow – it is understandable.

But first, Vladimir Putin thanked Assad for the fact that in such difficult times for his country he had come to Russia.
“In accordance with your request, we have agreed to provide effective assistance to the Syrian people in the fight against international terrorism, which unleashed against Syria a real war. The Syrian people almost single-handedly resisting, fighting international terrorism over the last several years, carries a serious loss, but in recent years and is seeking major positive results in the fight. The attempts of international terrorism to take control of large territory in the Middle East, to destabilize the situation in the region, causing legitimate concerns in many countries “, – said the Russian president.
Of particular concern Russia is the fact that in the ranks of terrorist groups against Syrian government forces are fighting the citizens of Russia and other CIS countries.
“Unfortunately, in Syria with arms against the government troops are fighting and immigrants from the former Soviet Union, there are about four thousand people, at least. And of course we can not allow that they received military experience and passing indoctrination, appeared on the territory of Russia “, – Putin said.
According to Putin, Syria – friendly for the Russian country and Moscow is ready to contribute not only to the fight against terrorism, but also in the political settlement in close contact with the other world powers and with the countries of the region that are interested in a peaceful solution of the problem.
“With regard to the settlement in Syria then we believe that based on the positive dynamics in the fighting, in the end, after all, long-term solution can be achieved through a political process with the participation of all political parties, ethnic and religious groups. And in the end, the final say, of course, must remain entirely the Syrian people “, – said Russian President.
” Of course, everyone knows that any military action suggests further political steps. A single goal for all of us to be – that he wants to see the Syrian people in the future of their country, “- said the Syrian leader.
The main obstacle to a political settlement is terrorism. The Syrian president appreciates the great contribution of Russia in the struggle this threat.
“First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to all those, the leadership of the Russian Federation, and, above all, to the Russian people for the help he has Syria. Thank you for what they stand for the unity of Syria and its independence. Most importantly, all this is done within the framework of international law. Those political steps that have been taken by the Russian Federation since the beginning of the crisis, are not allowed to develop the events in Syria at a tragic scenario. And terrorism, which is now spread in the region, if not for your actions, your decisions, would take a much larger area and would spread to more countries, “- said Assad.
