Russia considers restructuring military facilities in Syria
The Russian Foreign Ministry on June 10 stated that cooperation with Syria is progressing very actively, adding that Moscow is in talks with Damascus over a “possible restructuring” of its military installations in the country.
In remarks to journalists at a media briefing in Moscow, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Russia’s military presence in Syria is a topic of discussion in contacts with Damascus, including in the context of a “possible restructuring of the functionality” of Russian military facilities.
“However, this, again, falls under the purview of our security apparatus, the Defense Ministry,” Zakharova said.
Zakharova added that bilateral cooperation is developing “very actively” and that government agencies and business circles from the two countries are involved in efforts aimed at expanding ties.
