Kremlin foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov said on Monday that Russia was in contact with Syria's new administration at both a diplomatic and military level, Reuters reported.
Russia granted former president Bashar al-Assad and his family asylum this month after opposition factions took control of Damascus following a lightning and largely unopposed advance.
Moscow has said previously it is in talks about the fate of a naval facility it operates at the port of Tartous and about the Hmeimim air base it operates in Latakia province.
