Like to say in putin is very controversial with his attitude because before a was no there are five or 6,000 people looking for citizenship for fighting in syria. So the russians have succeeded to squeeze out the terrorists out of russia and then put syria in the position of isis i the putin is completely counterproductive in syria but he does what he loves. He himself as profited you prefer to fight them there a man here in russia. I think part of the problem as we ourselves have learned just because youre there is a meeting of the targets elsewhere but his government does not treat muslims at all.

I think we have to take that seriously. I think sometimes what was said at one time about them being an army with a state more than an army. In the military domai ....

As we speak their negotiations going on in new york following secretary kerrys visit to moscow. With that i turn it over to our 1st speaker. Thank you. I am flattered to be here, delighted to be invited to Atlantic Council program and humbled to be among so many deeply experienced and wise copay lists. My task was to layout the motives for the russian intervention in syria and then say a little bit something about what it means in terms of the context. In my paper i layout two sets of motives. The circle of three at i consider to be primary or strategic consideration and three less important ancillary motives which may or may not intertwine in interesting ways. The 1st circle of three, the least ambitious and most obvious russian motive for the intervention in syria, mentioned in the 1st panel is obviously there was an ally ....
