PUTIN’S RUSSIA SENDING MORE ARMS TO ASSAD……

 

I told my readers from the very beginning that Syria is no Libya, and that Russia and Iran will in fact ensure that the Assad regime will not go the way of Gaddafi’s. Just saying.

Russian arms shipment en route to Syria: report

UNITED NATIONS | Fri May 25, 2012 6:14pm EDT
(Reuters) – A Russian cargo ship loaded with weapons is en route to Syria and due to arrive at a Syrian port this weekend, Al Arabiya television said in a report that Western diplomats in New York described on Friday as credible.

Syria is one of Russia’s top weapons customers. The United States and European Union have suggested the U.N. Security Council should impose an arms embargo and other U.N. sanctions on Syria for its 14-month assault on a pro-democracy opposition determined to oust Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

But Russia, with the support of fellow veto power China, has prevented the council from imposing any U.N. sanctions on Syria and has refused to halt arms sales to Damascus.

“Al Arabiya have learned that a Russian cargo ship carrying a large amount of weapons plans to unload its cargo in the Syrian port of Tartus,” the broadcaster said on its website on Thursday.

The report said the ship left a Russian port on May 6 and cited a “Western source” as saying that it will dock at Tartus on Saturday.

“The ship is trying to conceal its final destination in a suspicious way,” Al Arabiya said.
