The Kremlin has rejected Turkish media reports which suggested the wife of Bashar al Assad wanted a divorce and to leave Russia.
Earlier this month, Assad, his wife Asma and members of his family arrived in the Russian capital after fleeing Syria.
Assad’s location was confirmed as Russian news agencies said Moscow had struck a deal with Syrian opposition leaders.
A source said the rebels had guaranteed the safety of Russian military bases and diplomatic institutions in Syria.
But yesterday, Turkish and Arabic media reported that Asma al Assad had filed for divorce in Russia.
Asked on a conference call if the reports about Asma al Assad corresponded to reality, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: “No they do not correspond to reality.”
He also rejected Turkish media reports which suggested that Assad had been confined to Moscow and had his property assets frozen.
