Abstract:
Syrian Crisis was a result of an unsystematic rival. However, the crisis has a clear difference with other Arab ones, because it continues longer, and many players took share in it. Syrian crisis is the most violent one in the Arab region, and Syria itself, in terms of ethnicity, is more complicated than other “Arab-Spring” countries. It is a direct neighbouring country to some influential states, Lebanon, Jordon, Palestine, Iraq and Turkey, and an indirect neighbour to a regional essential country, Iran. All of such matters make Syrian matter more difficult and complicated. Russia wasn't far from what was happening. It was a principle party in the crisis. Syrian file is a very essential issue in the Russian foreign policy, and an important axe of the Russian political game in the Arab region. The study is seeking for discussing the effects of the Russian foreign policy, and its political and strategic attitudes toward Syrian crisis on the future international status of Russia in the future international order, that Russia is doing its best to change to be multi-polar system instead of the present order which is obviously a uni-polar one.
