Addressing
the Russian top brass on Wednesday, Vladimir Putin lambasted U.S.
Middle-East policy for being 'disastrous' as Saudi-backed rebels vowed
to purge Syria and Iraq from Christians and other ethnic and religious
minorities.
"We
have nearly two million orthodox Christians in the Levant—Syria and
Lebanon— and approximately 5 million Christians across Middle-East.
Regardless of America's presidential election outcome, White House
craves chaos in that oil-rich region by supporting fanatic Islamist
organizations, i.e. ISIS and al-Nusra Front," Moskovskaya Pravda cited
the Russian president as saying.
It
is morally incumbent upon Russia to change this terrible status quo in
the Middle-East , added Mr.Putin , prepare for operation 'Salvation'
and with God almighty's aid , we shall cleanse Syria from Obama's
ruthless terrorists.
Amid
accusations from the United States that Moscow is beefing up its
military presence in Syria, there are unconfirmed satellite pictures and
intelligence reports about building several runways across Syria
suitable for landing the giant Antonov An-225 Mriya , allegedly
transferring battle tanks, heavy armored vehicles, offensive weapons
and Russian elite forces to be deployed and then engaged directly with
radical terrorist groups.
White
House spokesperson criticized on Tuesday Russian military movement in
Syria, suggesting Moscow tries to establish a central air base at an
airfield south of Latakia Province – President Assad's stronghold– that
has been at the heart of a recent Russian military buildup in Syria.
Russia
has been providing arms to Damascus since Soviet times and Moscow has
been the key international ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in
the conflict that started with Islamist rebellion against Syria's
secular system.
Over
the past year, evidence has steadily emerged of a growing Russian
military presence in Syria. As Syrian army struggles to defeat al-Qaeda
rebels but according to Russian officials, the time has been arrived for
Russia to save Middle-East.
