metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Since the outbreak of the Syrian uprising in March, 2013, the United States of America and
  the European Union have exerted various pressures on the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad’s
  regime to step him down from power, but all their efforts were in vain due to the supporting
  stance of both Russia and China to al-Assad through the use of veto power to block several
  international resolutions. The significance of the current paper lies in the fact it tackles those
  challenges facing Arab region, particularly Syria, in addition to the Russian position supporting
  Syria. The aim of the present paper is to adopt an analytical background of the Russian position
  regarding the Syrian crisis and the political as well as the strategic dimensions for such a
  move on the regional and international levels. The research comprises three sections in addition
  to an introduction and a conclusion. Section one investigates the reasons behind the Syrian
  crisis and the Russian interests in the region; Section two tackles is devoted to the Russian
  position towards the crisis, while the third section studies the Russian military intervention
  in Syria. From this perspective, we find that Russia seeks to ensure its influence over Syrian
  politics after a peaceful settlement. It aims to safeguard its strategic interests, restore its position,
  and end its international isolation, presenting itself as a major power on the global stage.
