AlHijjah 19, 1436, Oct 3, 2015, SPA -- Saudi newspapers highlighted in their editorials today a number of issues at local, regional and international arenas. On Russian air campaign in Syria, Al-Youm, Al-Madinah and Al-Sharq newspapers commented that Russia did not learn enough from its predecessor, the Soviet Union's experience during its invasion of Afghanistan in 1979, when Soviet troops intervened to support the pro-Afghan government. At that time, the Soviet Union has slipped totally into the Afghani conflict and finally it was forced to fled, after only nine years of occupation, under the blows of the Afghani and non-Afghani Mujahedeen, they wrote. The three newspapers also said that everyone knows that Russia supports Bashar Al-Assad regime politically and militarily since the beginning of the Syrian people's revolution. --More 10:46 LOCAL TIME 07:46 GMT تغريد
