The third and last question I have concerns something I raised earlier, which is the Russian Federation.
The Russian Federation has military bases and assets in Syria. What is your assessment of the future of those military installations?
The department indicated to us that they viewed Turkey's installations as part of a co-operative bilateral relationship between Syria and Turkey, but they did not take the same view of the Russian installations.
What's your assessment of Russian assets in Syria? What is the status of them and where will they be in the future?
