MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The Syrian people hope Russia will play a bigger role in solving the conflict in the country, a member of the Moscow-Cairo-formed opposition delegation in Geneva told Sputnik on Tuesday.
"Personally, I hope for Russia to assume a bigger role, which is being supported by all Syrian people, not just those supporting Assad," Firas Khalidi said.
Syria has been mired in civil war since 2011, with government forces loyal fighting numerous opposition factions and extremist groups.
A US-Russia-brokered ceasefire came into force across Syria on February 27. It follows several months of a Russian counter-terrorist aerial campaign in Syria.
