President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin defends Syrian leader Bashar Assad after a chemical attack because earlier Moscow became the guarantor of a truce in Syria.

Such an opinion on the air of "Echo of Moscow" was expressed by the editor-in-chief of this radio station Alexei Venediktov.

"If you ask if it was a sarin attack, I'll say, yes rather than no. These were Assad troops. Trump after all - the president of America - is also not a fool. He wanted to reconcile with us (RF. - Red. ) About Assad. He withdrew the demands for the resignation of Assad, but after the Zarinov attack, among other things, he was also reported to his services, he returned this demand because the children ... We are shown this here. And Assad is just hiding behind Putin's back. The same story as with "Beech": but there is no reverse. And where to? "He noted.

"Including that we were guarantors that we look deceived by Assad, our boy is that we are very afraid that Syria will fall apart and that all this terrorist trash rushes to the North and to us through Tajikistan, through Kazakhstan, through Uzbekistan, Through Kyrgyzstan - that's where it will go. They have already rushed, "- added the journalist.

Venediktov recalled that earlier Putin had said that because of the war in the Middle East, Igil.

"And he is partly right, because the radicalization of Muslim movements arose, including during this" endless war of all against all in the Middle East ". He falls apart, it's true. And the Americans there have trampled, and Bush there basically did ... Obama thencecece troops began to withdraw, Obama somehow wanted to leave, but now Trump there "Tomahawks" will be, "he said..

"That is, in fact, we also have such a zugzwang. What to do? You can say: "We are with you, Trump. And let's piss ... "Who, Assad? And who will come? The guys will come more radical. Assad more or less was secular, more or less. Just like Saddam Hussein - that's a secular executioner. And Assad - a secular executioner, "- summed up the journalist.
