Up to 11 Russian warships allowed simultaneously in port of Tartus, Syria – new agreement
An agreement signed by Russia and Syria stipulates that up to
eleven Russian warships will be able to dock in the Syrian port of
Tartus at any one time. The move is designed to boost defense
capabilities, the document states.
“The maximum number of
the Russian warships allowed at the Russian naval facility at one time
is 11, including nuclear-powered warships, providing that nuclear and
ecological security rules are observed,” the agreement says.
The agreement has been signed for 49 years and could be prolonged by 25 more years if both sides agree.
