Before that she used to speak for cooperation with Russia and Bashar al-Assad. On 22 November she claimed in an interview with Al-Jazeera: ‘Russia has interfered to save the country, for the sake of Syria. The problem is that you do not know Russians, do not understand them… You just accuse them of being against opposition’.
