Damascus and Moscow strengthen military ties
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that cooperation with Syria is developing significantly, and that Moscow is discussing with Damascus the restructuring of its military bases in the country, including Hmeimim Air Base in Latakia and the naval base in Tartus. They indicated that discussions are underway to establish a supply and logistics center in Tartus, despite the increasing relations with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, despite political changes in Damascus. These two bases are considered an essential part of the Russian military presence in the region, with Tartus Naval Base serving as a maintenance and resupply hub in the Mediterranean, and Hmeimim Base functioning as a launching point for Russian military operations in Syria and Africa.
