Syria Armed Opposition Awaits Russia's Answer on Truce Monitoring Mechanism

The Syrian armed opposition believes that discussions of the next round of intra-Syria talks in Geneva are premature as it awaits a response from Russia on its mechanism to monitor ceasefire in Syria, the head of the opposition delegation at the Astana talks told Sputnik.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Last week, opposition delegation representative Osama Abu Zeid said that the opposition had provided a project to create a mechanism to monitor the truce in detail. According to him, the Russian side reassured the opposition that it would examine it and make a decision.

"We await a response to the document which was given to the Russian side. Before speaking of any new round, there is a document with mechanism to control ceasefire," Alloush said.

According to Alloush, the opposition is in consultations ahead of Geneva walks.
