MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Earlier in the day, a source told Sputnik that Russia and the United States had agreed to introduce state of cessation of hostilities in northern Latakia province and suburbs of Damascus in Syria from midnight on April 30. Following the announcement, media reports emerged claiming that Aleppo would also be involved in the regime, but were refuted by a different source.
"Aleppo also [will be included]. This is the first step to recover the reconciliation and it is very important," Jamil told reporters.
Qadri Jamil added that he suspected a conspiracy to derail ceasefire efforts in Syria.
"The Riyadh group leaving the talks is one of the stages of this conspiracy against the ceasefire in Syria," Jamil told RIA Novosti.
Syria has been mired in civil war since 2011, with government forces fighting numerous opposition groups, including the Western-backed allegedly moderate factions, as well as terrorist formations.
The ceasefire in Syria, worked out by Russia and the United States, took effect on February 27. Terrorist groups are not part of the agreement.
