UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik) — When asked on the role of Russia and the United States in the Syrian peace process, Telle said, "It would be great if they were capable of stopping the war. They would be acclaimed by the whole world and certainly by Monaco, I hope they can do it."

Monaco believes that the deadly conflict in Syria should stop, he added.

"We are not part of any negotiation or coalition, we can just see the tragedy of people, dead people, millions of refugees, displaced persons," Telle said.

On September 9, US Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov brokered a cessation of hostilities in Syria that took effect three days later. The agreement stipulated that only designated terror groups be targeted in military strikes and called for unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid.

On Monday, the Syrian army declared the end of ceasefire regime blaming militants for numerous violations that made the cessation of hostilities unreasonable.
