The final determination of the conditions to stop the fighting in Syria remains in the limelight. With concerted and coordinated statements were made by the presidents of Russia and the United States. This was preceded by an overnight telephone conversation between Vladimir Putin and Barack Obama – agreed that the Syrian army and armed opposition should cease fire as early as this weekend. This will continue to destroy the terrorists.

The text of the joint statement of the Russian Federation and the United States has been published on the official website of the Kremlin on the eve of the evening. For the first time in recent years, the leaders of our countries have agreed statement. Vladimir Putin made a special appeal immediately after the telephone conversation with the US president.

“During the conversation, we approved a joint statement of Russia and the United States as co-chairs of the international support of Syria group on the cessation of hostilities in the country.

This was used and a positive experience gained through cooperation in the destruction of chemical weapons in Syria. Our negotiators have held several rounds of closed consultations. As a result, managed to reach an important concrete result. An agreement on the cessation of hostilities in Syria since midnight Damascus time, 27 February 2016 on the conditions that are part of the US-Russian statements, “- said Vladimir Putin.

Unlike other attempts to stop the bloodshed in Syria, this document – not just a call for a ceasefire. The algorithm details registered. All the steps are marked in a special supplement.

“On the morning of February 26, 2016 all the fighting in Syria, the parties shall confirm to us or American partners its commitment to the ceasefire. Russian and American military together on maps to identify areas in which there are such groups. Against them combat operations the armed forces of the Syrian Arab republic, the Russian armed forces and the US-led coalition conducted will not. The opposition, in turn, stop the military operations against the armed forces of the Syrian Arab republic and the groups supporting them. As for LIH, “Dzhabhat en-Nusra” and other terrorist organizations recognized as such by the Security Council of the United Nations, they from the cessation of hostilities will be completely eliminated Beats applied on them to continue “, -. Vladimir Putin said.

The official reaction of the White House appeared at about the same time, when the air was made treatment of the Russian President. With that said, as the statements of the leaders of the two world powers were coordinated.

President Obama stressed that now the priority is to achieve a positive response from the Syrian authorities and the armed opposition, as well as the fulfillment in good faith of agreements by all parties in order to alleviate the suffering of the Syrian people and to step up the political process under the aegis of the UN and focus on defeating the LIH.

Joint statement of Russia and the United States immediately became topic number 1 of the world’s media. Preparation of the document was carried out behind closed doors. The press secretary of the Russian President, Dmitry Peskov, revealed some details: “In general, the work was carried out at the level of experts of the two countries:. Russia and the United States was negotiated in Geneva, it was several rounds of secret negotiations, quite intense, prolonged, and were they actually in continuous mode about 28 hours “.

The statement details the monitoring of compliance with the agreements. Under the aegis of the UN will create a so-called target group – it must accurately determine the boundaries within which there are terrorist organizations in Syria, and to see to it that strikes exclusively on this area. The Task Force is to organize dialogue between all forces that will sign a ceasefire agreement and disassemble disputes. If one of the parties will systematically violate the agreement, it may withdraw the scope of the agreement.

“It is essential that the Russian and US co-chairs of the international Syrian support group ready to launch an effective mechanism to implement and monitor compliance with the cease-fire from both the Syrian government and armed opposition groups. This will be established hot lines and, if necessary, the working group on the exchange of information “, – said Vladimir Putin.

It is obvious that the joint Russian-US initiative will bear fruit if it is supported by not only the warring parties in Syria, but the key players in the Middle East. The document opens up opportunities for solving Syrian conflict and the agreement, experts believe, would be a kind of litmus test will show what the state is really interested in peace, and who tend to inflame the conflict.

“Russia will conduct the necessary work with Damascus, with the legitimate leadership of Syria. We hope that the United States has the same make with their allies and groups they support. I am convinced that the agreed with the American side joint action can radically . expand the crisis in Syria appeared last real chance to put an end to years of bloodshed and violence as a result should be facilitated humanitarian access to all those Syrian citizens Main, the conditions for launching a genuine political process through a wide mezhsiriysky dialogue in Geneva under the auspices of the UN.. – . said the Russian President – Recent history, unfortunately, is replete with examples of unilateral without UN sanctions action for the sake of short-term political or opportunistic interests resulted in the dramatic results of these examples are on everyone’s lips: Somalia, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, on this. background of the Russian-American agreement on a cease-fire in Syria, and their joint implementation in coordination with all the countries participating in the international support group Syria can become a model of responsible, based on international law and UN principles of action of the international community against the threat of terrorism. I would like to hope that the Syrian leadership, and all our partners in the region and beyond will support the chosen representatives of Russia and the United States algorithm of actions “.

The fact that some work in this direction is already underway, can be judged on the increased number of Putin’s contacts with leaders of Middle Eastern countries. last week Russian President spoke by phone with the king of Saudi Arabia, on the day when it was made public a joint statement, a conversation with the Emir of Qatar.

“Of course, the Russian side of the dialogue and consultation process will be continued and, of course, Moscow hopes that the joint Russian-American initiative will receive the support of all the region and the countries concerned countries “, – said Dmitry Peskov

in the White. house also confirmed their readiness to immediately begin work on the implementation of the agreements and called the agreement possible moment. US State Department spokesman Mark Toner, in turn, said that the cease-fire in Syria will also apply to Turkey.

Washington hopes that Ankara will stop strikes on Kurdish positions in Syria. To put pressure on its NATO allies, the US has a few more days. If the truce will be broken due to the fault of the Turkish side, it will cause serious damage to the credibility of America.
