Syrian ‘Silence Regime’ Is Generally Holding - Russian Deputy Foreign Min.

Russian Foreign Ministry top-level official confirmed Syrian militia report about the absence of agreed "silence regime" violations.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — A "regime of silence," which entered into force earlier on Saturday in Syria, is observed for the most part, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said.

"From media reports, from what I have seen, I can say that the silence regime is generally holding, but I can’t say anything else in more detail," Ryabkov told RIA Novosti.

Russia and the United States brokered the regime of silence that would be implemented in the Damascus’ suburbs for 24 hours and in the northern Latakia province for 72 hours starting midnight of April 30.
