CWN - The Melkite Greek Catholic archbishop of Aleppo, Syria’s largest city, welcomed Russian military intervention in Syria, according to an Agence France-Presse report.

Archbishop Jean-Clément Jeanbart said that the airstrikes have helped bring about a “renewal of confidence” among Syrian Christians and that President Vladimir Putin, though seeking Russia’s national interest, also “serves the Christians’ cause.”
