Russian President Medvedev phones Olmert to affirm ties
In an atmosphere of heightened tensions, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev called Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Wednesday night to affirm the ties between the two countries.
...
The conversation came after Syrian President Bashar Assad arrived in Russia Wednesday for a two-day visit during which he is seeking to purchase weapons, including long-range anti-aircraft missiles. Assad has reportedly offered to allow Moscow to deploy Russian Iskander missiles in its territory. The Iskander (known by NATO as the SS-26 Stone) is a short-range, solid fuel-propelled missile system.
Russia has reportedly not taken him up on the offer, which was publicized on Wednesday, the same day the United States signed an agreement with Poland to place a defensive missile system on Polish soil
