Özet: Since the second Gulf crisis in 1990, it has been thought that Russia can no longer protect its allies or exert influence on regional issues, and that the United States is the only actor in international and regional affairs. This impression was confirmed by the NATO strikes on Serbia in 1999, the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, and the NATO strikes on Libya in 2011. But the Russian position on the Syrian crisis came counter to expectations and closer to the Soviet positions during the Cold War, when Moscow stood firm in confronting Washington to protect its interests and allies. Syria is an important strategic ally and a foothold for Russia means losing the entire Middle East, which is inconceivable for Moscow. This is demonstrated by the clear diplomatic activity that Russian diplomacy has witnessed in the region since Vladimir Putin took power in Russia in 2000 and the jumps in economic and technical cooperation between Russia and a number of countries in the region.
