Syria’s new government terminated a treaty granting Russia a long-term military presence in the Mediterranean, a deal brokered under ousted leader Bashar al-Assad, Syrian media reported Tuesday.

The de facto authorities in Tartus reportedly annulled the agreement and demanded the immediate withdrawal of Russian forces, the Syrian opposition news outlet Shaam reported Monday, citing the regime’s ministry of information.

Authorities also said that revenue from the port would “now benefit the Syrian state,” reversing the previous agreement under which Russia received 65% of Tartus’ profits. The report added that Syria’s new leadership may investigate the treaty’s economic impact on the country.

Wow. Bye Bitch.

I wouldn't have blamed them if they didn't do this, I know they must hate Russia but they're in a very delicate situation and it would be understandable if they didn't want to pick a fight with Russia but respect to them for doing so. This is a big blow to Russia. I can only imagine the new Syrian Government feels like Russia is too weak to do anything in response and will accept it and fuck off.
