Completely dependent on Russia, President Bashar al-Assad is ready to discuss everything, including the proposed Russian Constitution for Syria. He acknowledged that Russia’s support of the air force ensured the progress of the Syrian army, especially in Aleppo and Palmyra. Bashar al-Assad has expressed a desire to also protect Syria from Israeli bombing.

We are ready for the detailed discussion and, of course, supported the idea,” reported Reuters.
With regard to relations between the Syrian regime and Russia, Assad says, “they last for many years, so Moscow knows the details.
