Putin’s Aide: Al-Assad Committed to Ensuring Security in Syria
Press Secretary of the Russian President-elect Vladimir Putin, Dmitry Peskov, affirmed Wednesday that "the Russian leadership views President Bashar al-Assad as a legitimate president who is committed to preserving security and order in his country."
In an interview with BBC, Peskov said that "one cannot ignore the acts of violence committed by one side of the conflict in Syria without discussing the other side."
He added that "a balanced stance must be assumed," stressing the need to remember that "President al-Assad is looking after his citizens and assuming responsibility for ensuring general order in Syria."
"There's no cause for not believing that the Syrian government is taking steps to ensure security," Peskov concluded.
