Russia has been making 60 bombings a day in Syria, since September 30th.
According to Moscow, their objectives are ISIS bases. Alexander
Karpushin, Ambassador of the Russian Federation in Tirana, declared for
Top Channel that the operation is being held by respecting the
international principles.

“The main motive for this decision of the Russian government is to protect the national interest of Russia against terrorism. Fight against terrorist gangs from a distance. This is about the IS and other groups of the same character that organize terrorist acts and destroy antique culture monuments. The ideology of ISIS cannot be called Muslim, because it is contradictory to the key principles of Islam. IT is compromising the traditional Islam. Russia’s operation, a country that counts more than 20 million Muslims, aims to preserve the traditional Islam. The presence of Russia in Syria is legitime, defending the unity of our country against foreign aggression. The President of Russia has permission from the Russian Parliament to use the Armed Forces”, declared the Russian diplomat in Tirana, Karpushin.
