Damascus-Moscow MoU Enables Projects
Damascus and Moscow have reached a memorandum of understanding to organize the restructuring of the Russian military presence in Syria, with the aim of reorganizing military and civilian bases and facilities. The agreement includes converting military bases into joint training and rehabilitation centers within three months, and managing civilian facilities such as Hmeimim Airport and the Port of Tartus by the Syrian government under a civil management framework. This step comes after an understanding aimed at overcoming old obstacles and organizing relations in a pragmatic manner, with a focus on reducing the broad powers previously granted by Damascus to Russia, and creating a more flexible and cooperative environment in military, economic, and infrastructure sectors. This development is the most significant since negotiations began a year and a half ago, reflecting the two countries’ desire to establish more balanced relations centered on mutual interests, while enhancing cooperation in energy, agriculture, and infrastructure, reducing Turkish influence, and restructuring the Russian presence in Syria within a legal framework that safeguards the interests of both parties.
