MOSCOW. Jan 27 (Interfax) - Russia has the right to deliver arms to Syria, Deputy Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told the Ekho Moskvy radio station on Thursday evening.
"I do not understand why we should explain, blush or turn pale, be damped with sweat. We have the right to do this," Ryabkov said.
It was reported earlier that the West rapped Russia for signing a contract on the supply of 36 Yakovlev Yak-130 jet trainers to Syria.
