U.S., Russia becoming partners on Syria - Federation Council member
MOSCOW. Sept 10 (Interfax) - The negotiations in Geneva between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry have marked the beginning of true partnership between the two countries on Syria, Russian Federation Council international affairs committee head Konstantin Kosachyov said.
"Apart from pure appearances [...] Geneva has chances to make history as a new reference mark in the Syrian drama. Surely, this is not a 'coalition' (how many of them have existed?), but this is a transition from uncoordinated actions to coordinated ones, and therefore, from rivalry to partnership," Kosachyov said on Facebook.
Following lengthy negotiations in Geneva on Friday and Saturday, Lavrov and Kerry agreed on a new Russian-U.S. plan to stop hostilities in Syria.
