"Russia’s help [is] not only logistic, military and humanitarian, it also includes information sphere. Syria is facing the misrepresentation of facts in world and Arab media and media empires, which are engaged in forgery and falsification of what is happening in Syria. Therefore, Russia’s information assistance has come in order to demonstrate the truth, and played a very important role in this area. It is necessary to thank Russia, its government and people for the moral support in combating this extremist idea," Turgeman said.
Russia has been conducting an aerial campaign against terrorists in Syria since September 30, 2015 at President Bashar Assad's request. Russian military aviation had conducted more than 9,000 sorties by March 2016, which have significantly reduced or even stopped terrorists' efforts to sell oil from the occupied territories, destroying hundreds of terrorists' oil facilities and thousands of petroleum carriers.
The Russian center for Syrian reconciliation is making efforts to push different groups and settlements toward joining the ceasefire regime. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, over 670 settlements have already joined the ceasefire.
In March, Russian President Vladimir Putin made a decision to withdraw a major bulk of the Russian forces. Nevertheless, Russia did not abandon its commitment to provide the Syrian government with weapons and military equipment and train military specialists.
