Russia “will help Syria” in the event of a military strike, Putin stressed as he responded to a reporter’s question at the summit.
“Will we help Syria? We will. And we are already helping, we send arms, we cooperate in the economics sphere, we hope to expand our cooperation in the humanitarian sphere, which includes sending humanitarian aid to support those people – the civilians – who have found themselves in a very dire situation in this country,” Putin said.

Stocks fall sharply on reported Putin comments
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. stocks
erased Friday gains, with the major indexes down about 0.5%, after Russia’s president reportedly said his nation would help Syria if that nation were attacked. After a 52-point climb that came as a disappointing payrolls report had investors revisiting the idea that the Federal Reserve would curb monetary stimulus later this month, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.81% fell 93.73 points, or 0.6%, to 14,843.75. The S&P 500 index SPX -0.61% shed 6.80 points, or 0.4%, to 1,648.28. The Nasdaq CompositeCOMP -0.73% fell 19.71 points, or 0.5%, to 3,639.03.
‘Obama to attack Syria regardless how Congress votes’
America’s envoy to the United Nations singled out Russia for criticism – for its outspoken opposition to strikes. And that’s as the UN chief himself ruled out a military solution to the Syrian crisis – warning that a strike would have tragic consequences and fuel sectarian violence in the region. Investigative journalist Charlie McGrath has commented on the U.S. envoy’s statements – saying international trust in Washington’s words has all but eroded.
