Russian warships in Syria: Any guesses?
The departure of a large group of ships of the Russian Navy to the coast of Syria is pursuing two well-defined goals, experts believe. The first one of them is to reinforce Russia's stance on Syria with real arguments. The second one is to evacuate Russian citizens from the country, if necessary.
However, they suspect in the West that
the training and combat mission of the Russian warships is being carried
out to cover up the delivery of arms to the troops of Bashar al-Assad.
Many in the West also think that the mission manifests Russia's claim
for a piece of the Syrian coast, on which there is an army base in
Tartus. Traditionally, the Defense Ministry does not share much
information on the subject. Russian defense officials do not hurry to
confirm the information saying that the Russian ships will call at a
Syrian port.
