Syria must be free of foreign military presence, Russia should also leave if Damascus no longer needs its help - Putin

The territorial integrity of Syria must be fully restored and all foreign forces should withdraw, including Russia if Damascus decides it doesn't need Moscow's help anymore, according to President Vladimir Putin. "All the forces deployed illegitimately inside any sovereign state - in this case Syria - must leave," Putin said in a joint interview with RT Arabic, UAE-based Sky News Arabia, and Saudi Arabia's Al-Arabiya broadcasters. "This is true for everyone. If Syria's new legitimate government chooses to say that they have no more need for Russia's military presence, this will be just as true for Russia."
