Humaymim and Tartus After Assad
The article discusses a new Syrian-Russian agreement that redefines the status of the Hmeimim and Tartus military bases. These bases are transforming from independent military installations that Moscow has relied on since 2015 into joint training and qualification centers for the Syrian army. This step reduces Russia's direct military influence in Syrian areas. The agreement aims to end the role of these bases as targeting and strategic platforms, while political and military cooperation between Moscow and Damascus remains intact. However, Russia's ability to use these bases independently or to exercise control over the Syrian coast is diminishing. This shift comes amid a decline in Russian influence following the fall of the Assad regime, as Russian forces withdraw and reduce their military presence. Meanwhile, Turkey advances and becomes more influential along the coast, altering the balance of power and increasing the sway of other regional actors.
