No special need for Russian permanent military base in Syria — ambassador
Russian Ambassador to Syria, Alexander Kinshchak told reporters on Thursday that there is no great need for a permanent Russian military base in Syria, and that the corresponding issue will be determined by the decision of the Russian Ministry of Defense depending on the country’s military-political situation.
“The question of how much we need it there will be decided in accordance with the military-political developments in Syria and around it,” he said. “In the view of the Defense Ministry, there is no great military need to have an additional airfield there.”
