Putin on Assad: We won't let other countries impose their will

Vladimir Putin said that Russia's stance on Syria has not changed: Russia will not let any state impose their will.

The Russian president stressed that only Syrian people are to decide their own fate.

Vladimir Putin also added that he discussed the Syrian crisis with John Kerry during his Moscow visit.

"As soon as we notice the political process has begun, and the Syrian government decides it is time to stop the airstrikes, [we are going to stop]. We are not going to be more Syrians than Syrians themselves. We don't need this, do we? The sooner it [the process] starts the better," Putin noted.

Putin added that Russia will support any Syria till the political process starts as it is very important to get all parties concerned to negotiate.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is holding a major end-of-the-year press conference, addressing the nation's economic concerns and issues on the international agenda.
