The Syrian ambassador in Moscow said on Wednesday Damascus would welcome the deployment of a Russian military base in the city of Latakia (Lattakia) if Moscow decides to build one there, Interfax news agency reported.
“If Russia agrees, Syria would only welcome such a step, because it would be aimed against terrorism on our soil,” Interfax is quoting Riad Haddad as saying.
