Moscow and Washington have taken on a cease-fire in Syria, seven days – the Russian newspaper

At four in the morning in Moscow ended with a meeting of the International Committee on Syria, after which the heads of the Russian and US foreign affairs agencies, accompanied by the UN Special Envoy Mr. de Mistura has reached the izmayavshimsya from a long night waiting reporters. However, despite the confident tone Lavrov and Kerry reported on the agreements reached, it became apparent that it was not possible to achieve full mutual understanding in the interpretation of the key parts. But taken at a meeting in Munich, the resolution on the number of points is mainly a framework

Earlier, Moscow sent its American partners on proposals settlement in Syria. As argued Reuters, citing sources in the US State Department, Russia offered to all participants of the Syrian conflict to negotiate a cease-fire on March 1. But these terms are not satisfied with the White House, where the need to do so immediately. As a result, at a meeting of the International Committee with the participation of Saudi Arabia and Iran had agreed on “the creation of conditions in Syria to stop the hostilities” within a week. As explained to Lavrov, the phrase “cease-fire” was not satisfied with some of the members of the Committee. What is the difference between the cease-fire and cessation of hostilities tried to answering the question of an American journalist, explained US Secretary of State. To be honest, it came from him rather sloppy and still unclear. As a result, Kerry stopped verbal balancing act, by which even confused interpreters and expressly stated that it is important not the wording, but the result. And he is in both cases should be the same and lead to reduced scale bloodletting. In his turn, Lavrov also called the talk on the subject “terminological game”, stressing that the key to the agreements reached should be the establishment of cooperation between the Syrian military and guerrilla groups. And this is still many problems caused by the fact that the parties do not trust each other or trying to change the course of the original rules of the game

“It’s important not just to reach a compromise, but also to fulfill its agreement,” – Lavrov added. Listen carefully translating Kerry nodded: because previously he also complained about the risks that not all parties will be able to fulfill its obligations

However, reserved to the cessation of hostilities 7 days does not mean the suspension, the more completion. actions of the Russian military space forces in Syria. The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry stressed that all approved at the meeting of the International Committee of the compromises Syria apply only to the armed opposition groups, which are not included in the list approved the UN Security Council of terrorist organizations. With regard to the last combat operations by the Russian and the international coalition led by the United States, will be continued. In order to avoid discrepancies, under the aegis of the UN will create a task force, which will determine the areas occupied internationally recognized terrorists.

It is much easier for the participants of the Syrian Committee failed to agree on a position on humanitarian issues. In short, in Geneva on Friday will begin to sit on the working group, which will determine in any population of Syria items need to deliver humanitarian aid. Today has received 114 requests. In this context, Lavrov said in Munich the agreed principle of solving humanitarian problems. It lies in the fact that humanitarian assistance has been received in one part of Syria at the expense of the other. And equally affected territories as being under the control of the Syrian army and the opposition. “We are concerned that the previously agreed Syrian opposition stymied humanitarian supplies to areas under its control,” – Lavrov reminded

on the night press conference, Lavrov and Kerry confirmed that the agreement on cooperation between Russia and the US “military dimension”. This statement might look like a breakthrough: after Moscow repeatedly proposed to establish cooperation of the Defence Ministry and the Pentagon to increase the effectiveness of strikes against terrorist bases in Syria. But American partners have so far avoided such an exchange of information. Whether mean your agreement with Lavrov on military interaction US departure from previous positions, reporters asked Kerry. He responded immediately: “No, it does not mean” leaving a question mark, of the same kind of interaction will now be between the military of Russia and the United States in Syria

In general, and Kerry and Lavrov after a meeting of the International Committee. Syria confirmed that the current arrangements indirectly mean freezing the situation, but do not give reason to believe that the war in Syria is completed. A lasting peace in Syria to conduct its accompanying political process will require a lot of time and effort by the international community.
