Abstract
The article presents Russian-Syrian cooperation after termination of the main phase of the counterterrorism operation, switching to political process and economic recovery of the country. The article considers Russian regional policy that is based on formation of “flexible” tactic unions. Economic interests of Turkey, Iran and China are analyzed as well. Those countries consider Syria to be an important element in the emerging oil and gas and logistic trans-border structure. At the same time, Syria itself is looking for a new model of building bilateral and multilateral relations not only in the Middle Eastern region but with countries of Eurasia.
