HNC Believes Damascus Uses 'Silence Regime' to Transfer Troops to Aleppo
DUBAI (Sputnik) — The ceasefire in Syria should be observed throughout the country and not only in specific regions, Syrian opposition’s High Negotiations Committee (HNC) spokesman Riyad Naasan Agha said Sunday.

Russia and the United States brokered the "regime of silence" that is implemented in the Damascus’ suburbs for 24 hours and in the northern Latakia province for 72 hours from midnight of April 30. The ceasefire in the Damascus' suburbs was since extended for another 24 hours, till the end of May 1.

"The Committee [HNC] requires an implementation of the agreement on full ceasefire in all areas without exception," Agha told RIA Novosti.
