Asad’s wife is not in Moscow
Syrian Ambassador to Russia Riyad Haddad Thursday denied reports that Asma al-Assad, wife of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, has arrived in Moscow.
"This is absolutely wrong information. The wife of the president did not come to Moscow," Haddad was quoted as saying by Xinhua.
He said the 36-year-old Asma was still in Damascus with her husband and other family members.
Asma, who married Assad in December 2000, was born, raised and educated in Britain. The couple have three children.
