Good call!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia%E2%80%93Syria_relations

> an agreement was signed in February 1946 ensuring Soviet support for Syrian independence ahead of the evacuation of French troops in April 1946

> In 1971, under an agreement with President Hafez al-Assad, the Soviet Union opened its naval military base in Tartus

> On 8 October 1980, Syria and the Soviet Union signed a Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation

So, "how many years after it started" appears to be a negative number.
