The West to hold military operation against Assad, Russian General Staff says

The head of the Russian General Staff, Valery Gersimov, states that the General Staff doesn’t exclude that the West could hold a military operation against the regime of Bashar Assad in Syria.

According to him, if the regime falls radical Islamists will come to power and the country will turn into a transit point for export of terrorism, extremism, arms and drugs from the Middle East to Europe and other regions of the world, ITAR-TASS reports.
