He gave his country’s military target information in order to allow the plane carrying him to travel to Moscow when they reached Damascus.
At least this is what a Hurriyet columnist claims.
Assad “gave” weapons caches and missile launch sites
According to the columnist of the Turkish newspaper, the data that Assad handed over to Israel concerns weapons depots, missile launch sites, military bases and other elements of its infrastructure.
In exchange – according to the publication – the Israeli armed forces gave the “green light” for the safe transfer of Assad to the Russian air base, in the city of Khmeimim, without the aircraft being a target.
According to the Daily Mail, a few hours after Assad landed in Moscow, Israel launched a heavy bombardment of critical Syrian military infrastructure.
He “ate door” from Iran and Abu Dhabi
Hurriyet journalist Abdulkadir Selvi also writes that Assad’s escape ticket from Syria was issued in a meeting between Turkey’s foreign minister, , and his Russian and Iranian counterparts, Abbas Araksi. As he reports, Assad initially wanted to go to Iran but Tehran did not accept his request. The Syrian politician’s next choice was the United Arab Emirates, with Abu Dhabi giving a similar response.
He got away with a trick
It should be noted that Assad escaped from the Russian airbase in Khmeimim with a trick: the pilots of the aircraft, in which he was on board, first headed towards the Mediterranean and then turned around by turning off the transponders of the flight signal.
