New Era in Saudi-Russia Relations: Why Now?

1001
BY DR. THEODORE KARASIK, EXCLUSIVELY FOR AZERI DAILY
The visit of Saudi Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg is extraordinary and politically significant. The Saudi delegation to Russia was impressive including Foreign Minister Adel bin Ahmed Al-Jubeir, Minister of State and Member of the Cabinet Khaled bin Abdurrahman Al-Essa, and the President of General Intelligence Khalid bin Ali Al-Humaidan.
The Saudi visit is a sharp departure from the late March 2015 Saudi comment at the Arab League that accused Putin of hypocrisy for telling the Arab summit that he should not express support for the Middle East while fuelling instability by supporting Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad.http://azeridaily.com/analytics/8119
