Abstract
This article examines why Russian-Syrian relations were not especially close during the first five
years of Putin's presidency and why the relationship suddenly improved at the beginning of 2005.
It will also examine how Putin has sought to maintain good relations with Syria and Israel
simultaneously, and how various future scenarios might affect Russian-Syrian relations.
