Po šio vadovo mirties 2000 metais jo sūnus Basharas perėmė vadovavimą šaliai. Assadų dinastijos vadovavimas Sirijai sudarė įspūdį, kad tai – stipri šalis. Be jokios abejonės, jos geografinė padėtis yra puiki – ribojasi su Turkija, Iraku, Jordanija, Izraeliu, Libanu, jos krantus skalauja Viduržemio jūra. Nei karas, nei taika Artimuosiuose Rytuose negalėjo būti įmanomi be Sirijos dalyvavimo. Be to, ji turėjo stiprius sąjungininkus – Rusiją ir Iraną...
Kerštas
Explosions across Syria's Hama province. Amateur video which can not be independently verified by Reuters appears to show Russia on the offensive in Syria. More footage shows panic on the streets near the Turkish border in a country where war has already claimed the lives of some 250,000 people. Jets believed to be Russian target a depot for trucks waiting to go through a major rebel controlled border crossing. Syrian jets have struck that area before. But if confirmed to have been carried out by Russia, it would be one of Moscow's closest air strikes to Turkish territory -- targeting a humanitarian corridor into rebel-held Syria and an important transit point for Syrian civilians crossing to Turkey. Earlier in the week Turkey shot down a Russian jet, which it said entered its air space. Russia said the plane had not left Syrian air space.
What happened?
Both Russia and Turkey say the Russian Su-24, an all-weather attack aircraft, was shot down by Turkish F-16s in the Turkey-Syria border area on 24 November.
President Putin said the plane, which had two crew members, was flying at an altitude of 6,000m (19,685ft) when it was hit by an air-to-air missile.
The plane crashed in the mountainous Jabal Turkmen area of the Syrian province of Latakia, which is contested by Syrian government and rebel forces.
Why was it shot down?
In a letter to the UN Security Council, Turkey's permanent representative Halit Cevik wrote that two aircraft of unknown nationality had approached Turkish airspace near the town of Yayladagi in Hatay province.
Who are the Turkmen in Syria?
Why was the Russian jet there?
Russia is one of several countries directly involved in the conflict in Syria, which has left more than 250,000 people dead since March 2011.
Moscow is an ally of President Assad and is conducting air strikes to prop up his government. It says it is targeting only "terrorists" - above all jihadist militants from Islamic State (IS) - but its strikes have mainly hit Western-backed rebels.
Syrian rebels have meanwhile received substantial support from Turkey, an opponent of Mr Assad. Ankara also allows the US-led multinational coalition against IS to use its airbases to conduct strikes on the group in Syria.

In a letter to the UN Security Council, Turkey's permanent representative Halit Cevik wrote that two aircraft of unknown nationality had approached Turkish airspace near the town of Yayladagi in Hatay province.
The planes were warned 10 times over the space of five minutes via an "emergency" channel and asked to change direction, he added.
Both planes disregarded the warnings and then flew 2.19km (1.36 miles) and 1.85km (1.15 miles) into Turkey for 17 seconds from 09:24:05 (07:24:05 GMT), according to Mr Cevik.
"
Following the violation, plane 1 left Turkish national airspace. Plane 2 was fired at while in Turkish national airspace by Turkish F-16s performing air combat patrolling in the area. Plane 2 crashed onto the Syria side of the Turkish-Syrian border."
The Turkish military also published what it said was the radar image of the path the Russian plane took, showing it briefly flying across Turkey's southern-most tip.
