For years Russia and Syria were key partners in Syria 's civil war.

Moscow gained access to Mediterranean air and sea bases while Damascus received military support.

Many Syrians want to see Russian forces leave but interim government says it is open to further cooperation.

Moscow entered the Syrian conflict in 2015 to support the regime when it was losing ground.

Between 1956 and 1991 Syria received some 5,000 tanks, 1,200 fighter aircraft, 70 ships and many other systems and weapons from Moscow worth over $26bn.

A lot of this was in support of Syria 's wars with Israel , which has largely defined the nation's foreign policy since it gained independence from France in 1946 .
