Baku-APA. Russian President Vladimir Putin has informed his US counterpart Barack Obama on his decision to withdraw the major part of Russia’s Aerospace Forces from Syria, the Kremlin’s press service announced, APA reports quoting TASS.
"The Russian president has informed [Obama] that after fulfilling primary missions, which the Russian Armed Forces were tasked with regarding the fight against international terrorism, it was decided to withdraw a major part of the Russian Aerospace Forces from Syria," the press service said in its statement.
The statement added that the decision "will definitely serve as a signal of goodwill for all conflicting parties and form a foundation for the launch of the real peace process."
The Kremlin press service announced on late Monday that following a telephone conversation between Russian President Putin and his Syrian counterpart Bashar Assad the two leaders agreed on the pullout of the major part of the Russian Aerospace Forces from the war-torn country since "the Russian Armed Forces fulfilled the fundamental missions, which had been assigned to them."
Russia, however, will keep an air flights control center in Syria to monitor the observation of the ceasefire regime, the Kremlin said.
