The Russian embassy in the US says Washington should take into account Russia-Turkey-Iran efforts to restore peace in Syria.
The United States should take into account the tireless efforts made by Russia, Turkey, and Iran to reconcile the Syrians, the Russian Embassy in the US said in a statement.
According to Tass News agency, “UN Security Council Resolution 2401 passed on February 24 points to efforts made by Russia, Turkey, and Iran as the guarantor nations of the Astana process to reduce violence on the way towards a comprehensive ceasefire throughout Syria.
“We confirm that we, together with our Turkish and Iranian partners, continue the painstaking work in this direction and are getting ready for the next Astana-format meeting in March,” the statement reads.
“We urge the American partners to carefully check the information handed over to them, compare it with the real situation in Syria and take into account the tireless efforts made by Russia, Turkey and Iran to reconcile Syrians at the Astana platform and in the context of the Syrian National Dialogue Congress held in Sochi,” the statement noted.
The Iranian chief of staff of the armed forces said the ceasefire does not include the Damascus and the attacks would continue to suppress the terrorists in response to a 30-day ceasefire in Syria.
The UN Security Council adopted a resolution on a 30-day ceasefire among the parties involved in Syria, which all parties are bound to accept it, but the reactions of Iran and Russia show that there is no identical definition of terrorism.
