"Finally there is peace in our land with Russian support. Finally we made the first steps toward a cessation of hostilities. Conditions for the Syrian population began improving since February 27. And now I would like to tell you one thing: maybe we should stop fighting? I believe that now is the time to start a political dialogue," National Conference party general secretary Ilhan Mansad said.
Other participants included For Democratic Syria civil society member Muazzin Bilal, as well as sheikhs Salikh Harib and Anas Tawal who represent opposition militias that forced militants out of their regions.
A US-Russia-brokered ceasefire came into force on February 27 across Syria. It was supported by the Syrian government and dozens of opposition groups on the ground. Islamic State and Nusra Front 9outlawed in Russia) are not part of the deal.
