Syria says reached deal with Moscow on fate of Russian bases

Syria on Sunday said it reached a memorandum of understanding with Moscow over the fate of Russia's two bases in the country, agreeing to convert the military facilities into joint training and rehabilitation centres within three months.

Quoting the foreign ministry, Syria's official SANA agency said the military bases and facilities at Hmeimim Airport and Tartus port would be turned into "joint training and rehabilitation centres, within new arrangements that preserve mutual interests".
