Putin, Qatari emir discuss Syria, Gaza at Moscow talks

MOSCOW, Apr 17: Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani told Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday that Syria's new leader was keen to build ties with Moscow.

The assurance from Sheikh Tamim comes as Putin attempts to retain Russia's use of two military bases in Syria and avoid a serious blow to its strategic influence in the region, after the fall of its ally Bashar al-Assad in December. Assad was toppled by rebels led by Ahmed al-Sharaa, who has replaced him as president.

"As for Syria, a few days ago President al-Sharaa was in Qatar, and we spoke with him about the historical and strategic relationship between Syria and Russia. He is keen on building a relationship between the two countries based on mutual respect," the emir told Putin at their meeting in the Kremlin.

Putin said the development of the situation in Syria, which has been rocked by sectarian violence in recent weeks, was of serious importance.

"We would like to do everything to ensure that Syria, firstly, remains a sovereign, independent and territorially integral state, and we would like to discuss with you the possibility of providing assistance to the Syrian people, including humanitarian assistance," he told the emir.

"There are many problems there: political, security, and purely economic."

The two men also discussed the situation in Gaza, where Qatar played a key role in brokering a January deal between Israel and Hamas for a three-phase ceasefire. �"REUTERS
