In Geneva, Russia and the United States agreed on a package of five documents to stabilize the situation in Syria, CNN reports . Negotiations of the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry Sergei Lavrov and US Secretary of State John Kerry lasted over 14 hours.
“Today, the United States and Russia are announcing a plan that we hope to reduce violence, alleviate suffering and resume the movement towards peaceful negotiations and peaceful settlement in Syria,” Kerry said at the end of a meeting in Geneva. - We hope that if the plan is fully fulfilled, it will become a turning point. "According to the Secretary of State, the agreed plan has more far -reaching consequences than any agreements today and if it is fulfilled by all parties will allow you to move on to peace negotiations.
According to the agreements reached, all aspects of the conflict in Syria must stop military operations from September 12. The termination mode will last seven days. After that, a special center for the demarcation of terrorists and moderate opposition will be created.
“The first step will be the re -focus of the regime of termination of military operations. We will do everything so that the parties that Russia and the United States influence take some steps, overwhelm their adherence to the regime of termination of hostilities at first for 48 hours, with an extension for another 48 hours, and in order to reach constant observance of this regime,” Lavrov said .
The Syria government and the opposition are already familiar with the plan and are ready to fulfill them, Lavrov said. However, there is no one hundred percent guarantee of compliance with agreements. “As for the prospects for the implementation of these agreements, no one can give one hundred percent guarantees,” the Russian minister said. “Too many players are involved in this puzzle, the interests of a number of elements are too diameter.”
Syrian Secretary General of Syria, Staffan de Miscisture, congratulated Lavrov and Kerry on the successful completion of such long and difficult negotiations. "The UN welcomes the understanding that was achieved today by the Minister of Foreign Affairs Lavrov and Secretary of State Kerry. Russia and the United States are really ready to work together to defeat the IG and Jebhat al -Nusra. This opens up a real window of opportunities," he said.
