Washington Post: Kerry announces ‘provisional agreement’ for truce in Syria
AMMAN, Jordan — Secretary of State John F. Kerry said Sunday that a “provisional agreement in principle” has been reached with Russia for a temporary truce in the Syrian civil war, and it could start within days.
Kerry said he spoke Sunday morning to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov for the second day in a row, and final details are be ironed out in a phone call between President Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Among the unsettled details are how a cease-fire would be enforced, and how breeches will be resolved.
While he gave no details on the parameters of a cease-fire, Kerry said it will be up to Russia to get Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and Iran to agree to the conditions and up to the United States to enlist the acquiescence of the major opposition groups and other members of a multinational group pushing peace talks. Afterward, he said, a temporary cease-fire could be implemented.
