Why Assad was in Moscow

Bashar al-Assad flew to Moscow, probably because the first time in the fifth year of the war he was able to do it. And now is where to fly to Moscow. Previously, there was no where.

Russian aviation group has created the opportunity. Perhaps he flew on the Russian plane, and certainly under the cover of Russian aircraft up to the Russian border, if not further.

Assad needed to talk with the Russian mostly, from the action of which depends the fate of the now-Assad and Syria. 
Putin had to look at Assad and understand what he is capable of.

I am sure that the Russian president is not trying to persuade Assad to leave, for the simple reason that Assad - the only leader of a large caliber, who still represents Syria, all the others in the region just punks. So if you remove the Assad regime, it will be the situation in Libya, where reigns all and none.

United States - mindless and irresponsible, so they call for the withdrawal of Assad. 
Russia is serious and responsible now and knows that replace Assad nekem.Ya speak, except Assad everything - punks.

Most likely, they discussed the problem of the ground operation. 
Putin's interests will cope if the Syrian army, the Iranians and Hezbollah with a ground offensive.

Putin, I would like to ground consolidation successes Russian VCS went faster after three weeks bombed the IG, here nerovёn hour, Americans wake up from the stupor and begin to deliver Spahn means to attack our bombers and attack aircraft. 
Assad is likely interested in the possibility of the participation of the Russian Federation in ground operations.

So I think and feel.

October 20 Syrian President Bashar Assad visited Moscow on a working visit. Held in the Kremlin Russian-Syrian talks in narrow and expanded format with the participation of senior management in Russia.

Vladimir Putin: Mr President,

Let me cordially welcome you to Moscow. Thank you, in spite of the dramatic situation in your country, you nevertheless have responded to our request and come to Russia.

In accordance with your request, and we have decided to provide effective assistance to the Syrian people in the fight against international terrorism, which has unleashed a real war against Syria. The Syrian people almost single-handedly resisting, fighting international terrorism for the past several years, it bears serious losses, but in recent years and is seeking long-term positive results in the fight.

Attempts by international terrorism to gain control of vast territories in the Middle East, to destabilize the region raises legitimate concerns in many countries. It bothers us, Russia mean that, unfortunately, in Syria, in arms against the government troops are fighting and immigrants from the former Soviet Union, there are about 4 million as a minimum. And of course we can not allow that they received military experience and passing indoctrination, appeared in Russia.

With regard to the settlement in Syria, we believe that based on the positive dynamics in the fighting in the end still a long-term solution can be achieved through a political process with the participation of all political parties, ethnic and religious groups. And in the end the final say, of course, must remain entirely the Syrian people.

Syria - a friendly country for us. We are ready to make a contribution not only to the fighting against terrorism, but also in the political process - of course, in close contact with the other world powers and countries in the region that are interested in a peaceful resolution of the conflict.

Once again, welcome, Mr President!

Assad (as translated): Thank you, Mr. President.

First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the entire leadership of the Russian Federation and the Russian people for the assistance they have given to Syria. Thank you for what they stand for the unity of Syria and its independence. The main thing is that everything is done in the framework of international law.

And I must say that, first of all, the political steps taken by the Russian Federation since the beginning of the crisis, did not allow events in Syria develop in a tragic scenario.Terrorism, which now has spread in the region, if not for your actions and your decisions, would take a much larger area and would spread even more territory. These steps are confirmed by the fact that you took part in the fighting in a united front to combat terrorism.

Of course, everyone knows that any military action suggests further political steps. And of course, a common goal for all of us to be what he wants to see the Syrian people in the future of their country.

It is necessary to pay special attention that the attacks on terrorism - it is necessary first of all from the point of view of the need to fight terrorism, and the second - that terrorism is a real obstacle to political settlement. And of course, all people want to participate in deciding the fate of the state, not just managers.

And I once again would like to thank the Russian people for the help that it provides our country, and to express the hope that we will prevail over terrorism and together will continue to act to rebuild the country from the economic point of view, from a political point of view, in terms of peace the existence of all.
