Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Sisi has urged to disarm extremist groups operating in Syria and search for a peaceful way out of the five-year conflict, in an interview to local newspapers published Monday.

CAIRO (Sputnik) — The president added that US-Russia agreements on Syria, such as their attempts to broker ceasefire between the government and rebels, and more flexibility on the part of regional powers that have leverage over the warring parties could help find a way out to end the Syrian war.

"Egypt’s stance on the situation in Syria is based on five simple principles – respect of its territorial integrity and the will of the Syrian people, a peaceful political solution [of the crisis], disarming of extremist groups, restoration of Syria, and resetting of its state institutions," Sisi told Egypt’s three key newspapers.
