Report: Russia warships to enter Syria waters in bid to stem foreign intervention
Communist Russia is dead, now we have to deal with the Imperial Russia of Putin. Note that this report comes from just one Syrian news agency, I haven’t seen confirmation of the Haaretz article, just rehashing of the reports, notably in Pakistan.
Russian warships are due to arrive at Syrian territorial waters, a Syrian news agency said on Thursday, indicating that the move represented a clear message to the West that Moscow would resist any foreign intervention in the country’s civil unrest.
Also on Friday, a Syrian official said Damascus has agreed “in principle” to allow an Arab League observer mission into the country.
But the official said Friday that Syria was still studying the details. The official asked not to be named because the issue is so sensitive.The Arab League suspended Syria earlier this week over its deadly crackdown on an eight-month-old uprising. The 22-member body has proposed sending hundreds of observers to the country to try to help end the bloodshed.
