Secretary of State John Kerry has called upon hid counterpart Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and had issued a warning about the increased presence of the Russian military in the war-torn country of Syria.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 6 September 2015.
The rumors are that Russia has built an air traffic control tower and housing in western Syria for setting up a 'forward operating base'. Russian government have already admitted to sending its advisers, specialists and weapons to the regime of President Bashar al-Assad, but does not accept that its soldiers are actively involved in Syria’s battle against various rebel groups.
Incidentally, Russia has requested air right from surrounding countries to fly military cargo to their airfield near the Syrian city of Latakia. Moreover, it also maintains a naval base in the port city of Tartus.
Obviously, the world leaders must maintain calm and restraint and keep a check on activities that could aggravate the existing volatile situation in Syria and, added to the threats of the ISIS, it needs handing with care and caution.
