Putin: Syrian Ceasefire Deal Reached Between Assad Regime And Rebels

By Laura Loomer / THE GELLER REPORT

After a very bloody six-year-long civil war, Vladimir Putin announced on Thursday that Assad’s Syrian government and the opposition rebels have agreed to terms for a ceasefire deal and peace talks proposed by Russia and Turkey.

According to Putin, the plan will end hostilities beginning at midnight on Friday. During the civil war, Russia and Turkey have supported opposing sides, but they have agreed to serve as guarantors to the agreement.

However,  terrorist organizations such as ISIS “and the groups affiliated to them” were not part of the agreement.

While meeting with Russia’s foreign and defense ministers Putin said, “Three documents have been signed. The first document is between the Syrian government and the armed opposition on a cease-fire on the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic. The second document is a package of measures to control the cease-fire regime. And the third document is a statement on readiness to begin peace talks on the Syrian settlement.”
