Moscow, SANA-Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov announced on Friday that the Russian President Vladimir Putin has not specified a time limit for the Russian military operation to combat terrorism in Syria.<\/p>\n
RT website quoted Peskov as saying in response to a question on whether the Kremlin anticipated that the operation in Syria would last more than a year, Peskov said that Putin, in his capacity as supreme commander of the armed forces, has never declared any predictions or assessments about the extent of the operation.<\/p>\n
He pointed out that the Russian President announced that the main aim for the operation is to help the Syrians and Syrian Arab Army in fighting terrorists.<\/p>\n
Russian airstrikes on terrorist organizations in Syria over the past year have ensured that “neither Islamic State, nor Al-Qaeda nor the Nusra Front are now sitting in Damascus,” Peskov said. He noted, however, that assessing the success of the ongoing operation is the task of military experts.<\/p>\n
Commenting on the recent reports by the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights about the current situation in Syria, he said: \u201cWe do not view the information about what is happening in Syria from an organization stationed in the United Kingdom as valid.\u201d<\/p>\n
