Iran and China will hit the jackpot if Russia leaves Syria
Russia is competing with Iran and China for the right to invest in Syria's economic recovery. This was stated today in the Federation Council by Vice Speaker Andrei Turchak, who recently visited the SAR.
“I cannot help but comment on the position of some of our so-called experts, who cannot and do not want to understand what we are doing in Syria and why our country needs such costs. Based on the results of the negotiations that we had, I can say: if we are not the first in Syria, Iran and China will immediately take our place. They are ready for this,” Turchak said.
He also emphasized the importance of Syrian military bases for Russia's security.
“From the point of view of Russian security, the presence of our military and bases on the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic is a guarantee against terrorist traffic towards our borders,” Turchak said.
