Her new government Syria pushed her Russia for compensation during her first talks with a Kremlin delegation following the removal of President Bashar al -Assad, according to Bloomberg.

“The dialogue underlined Russia’s role in rebuilding confidence with the Syrian people through specific measures such as compensation, rebuilding and recovery,” according to a statement on Damascus talks with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mika. “The new government also stressed that the restoration of relations must face the mistakes of the past.”

The announcement does not explain what form of compensation Syria is seeking from Russia. Bogdanov described the third constructive talks as “we understand how difficult the situation is,” Interfax news service said.

The Syrian announcement made no mention of two basic Russian military bases in Syria, which the Kremlin desperately wishes to maintain. Bogdanov told reporters that there was no progress on the issue and that further negotiations were needed, the Russian News Agency Tass said.

Military bases – a naval port in Tartus and an airport in Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Their loss would be a major strategic blow, as Russian President Vladimir Putin remains trapped in a escalating confrontation with the US and their European allies almost three years after he ordered the invasion of Ukraine.

Tartus is the only Russian naval hub in the Mediterranean, and Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Negotiations with the new Syrian government to maintain them have been stuck, with Russian activities in Khmeimim restricting and two transport ships waiting for weeks before Syrian officials allow them to be docked in the port to remove military equipment. Bloomberg citing a source from Moscow that is aware of the situation.

The Kremlin was earlier optimistic that he could convince Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham, or HTS, the former al-Qaeda offshoot that forced Assad last month to leave Syria, let it remain on the bases. Russia helped Assad escape to Moscow as his regime collapsed.

Putin ordered his army to intervene in Syria to support Assad in 2015, helping to turn the war against rebels at that time. In 2017, Russia acquired 49 years of leases from the Tartu base and Hhhhi Airport.

OR Turkeywhich supported the rebels for the expulsion of Assad and is a Russian opponent in Syria, opposes the continuation of Moscow’s military presence in the country. It is extremely doubtful that the new Syrian authorities will let Russia remain on the bases, after Russian warplanes have targeted opposition forces during the country’s civil war, two senior Turkish officials said.

Turkey has been offered to supply the Syrian armed forces with weapons and provide training. Much of the country’s military potential has been destroyed by Israeli attacks after Assad’s overthrow.

German and France foreign ministers visited Syria shortly after New Year’s Eve, as the European Union intensifies its efforts to build links with the new authorities and persuade them to limit Russia’s influence.

EU Foreign Ministers reached a preliminary agreement on a roadmap on the gradual relaxation of sanctions against Syria on Monday, European diplomat Kaya Callas chief Kaya Calia told reporters.

Some G7 states and allies have explored ways for Syria to find alternatives to imports of Russian oil and food, Bloomberg said earlier this month. Ukraine sent a cargo to Syria and promised more traditions during a visit by Foreign Ministers and Georgia in December.
