the cease-fire in Aleppo to be continuous, if the groups of the moderate Syrian opposition will separate from the terrorists. As reported by RIA Novosti, said the permanent representative of Russia to the UN Vitaly Churkin.

According to him, if the Syrian opposition will be separated from “Dzhebhat EN-Nusra”, “it can be endless the cease-fire.” “But we have seen situations where the “Nusra” immediately took advantage of any ceasefires to regroup and obtain weapons to continue fighting everywhere,” said the Ambassador.

According to Churkin, in the absence of “an-Nusra” the consequence of the ceasefire should be agreement on a ceasefire between the factions of the moderate opposition and the government, and “there will be no war.”

If we manage to divide the opposition groups and terrorists, “Nusra” will be offered two choices: either they leave the city in accordance with the plan of UN special envoy to Syria Staffan de Mistura, “or they have to win,” said Churkin.

the Russian General staff on Monday, October 17, stated that in the area of Aleppo on October 20 from 8:00 to 16:00 will be introduced “humanitarian pause,” at which time the Russian space forces and Syrian government troops will cease attacks.

In the last few months, the situation in Aleppo has deteriorated. The US accuses the Syrian government and Russia for the bombing of civilians and armed opposition. Damascus and Moscow, in turn, insist that strikes only against terrorists and accused Washington of failing to influence the moderate opposition groups, forcing them to separate themselves from the extremists.

8 Oct Russia, using the veto, has blocked in the UN Security Council, France proposed a resolution on the introduction of ceasefire in Aleppo. However, SAT rejected the Russian version of the resolution in support of de Mistura plan was the agreement between Russia and USA on Syria.

De Mistura had previously initiated on the withdrawal of the militants of banned terrorist group “dzhebhat an-Nusra” in Aleppo. He proposed to hold consultations on the possibility of withdrawal from the city in opposition-controlled Idlib province around 900 militants. “Nusra front” to leave Aleppo refused.
