RUSSIA’S PERSPECTIVE ON SYRIAN QUAGMIRE AND CHALLENGES TO SECURITY FROM ISIS MENACE

Russia's perspective on Syrian quagmire and challenges posed to security and rising menace of ISIS is about Syrian crisis which has engulfed the entire region into catastrophic war and has destabilized the regional peace and security. The brazen ambition of ISIS and Daesh to create Islamic caliphate and control oil economy and terrorize the civilians has been disheartening. The refugee crisis is looming large over Europe due to Syrian conundrum. The terrorist groups have strong sectarian divides which have threatened the entire Shia crescent which causes tension in the region. Israel feels threatened by the onslaught of Daesh and Al-Nusra front which has devastated Syria and has spread its tentacles to the parts of the world. There is obviously a great power rivalry because of Syrian quagmire. Iran and Syria are the allies of Russia in the war-torn country Syria. The geopolitical leverage Russia is trying to gain in the region by controlling the situation there. The political gimmick has led to the terrorist attack on Ambassadors, Airplanes, and vital security installations. The Isis has been recruiting and crating the militias from the mountain peoples of Caucasus region of Russia. They are trained and disarrayed and disgruntled people flock to join the Isis to wage holy war. Syrian government herculean task is a reconstruction of war -ravaged Syria and triumph over terrorism by liberating region controlled by ISIS..
