SOCHI, on October 27. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin confirmed that the American colleague Barack Obama promised him for seven days to breed terrorists and the opposition in Syria. However, the U.S. broke the truce, said the Russian President at the meeting of the International discussion club “Valdai”.
Conversation with Obama
Canadian political scientist Piotr Dutkiewicz, asked Putin to confirm or refute the information about his conversation with Obama in early September in China and the promises made to the U.S. Russia on the Syrian settlement. “I don’t need it (the conversation with Obama) remember, I didn’t forget, it’s a very important conversation,” admitted the Russian leader. According to him, “there is really the idea was to stop the work of the Russian and Syrian air strikes on terrorist targets in Aleppo before the separation of the so-called healthy opposition from jabhat al-Nusra is a terrorist organization recognized as such UN included in the list of international terrorist organizations.”
“In this regard, I would like to note that it is not what we us our partners promised to do it. They recognized, first, that it should be done. They (the US) admitted that part of Aleppo is engaged in terrorist organizations – Dzhebhat-EN-Nusra and ISIS (banned terrorist organization), Yes, it can be seen on the TV footage Chronicles when we see the ISIS flag and the banner of jabhat al-Nusra in certain districts of Aleppo,” – said Putin.
It is reported that the United States also recognized the need for breeding these terrorists and opposition. “And assured us that they will do it, and then we agreed that we would start together – define directly on the battlefield, where a healthy part of the opposition, and we won’t touch it at all, and where the terrorists and we can be together with our American partners to work on these terrorists,” – stated the President of the Russian Federation.
“They (the US) promised us many times and at the level of Minister of defense and Minister of foreign Affairs, and on the level of special services. Unfortunately, time after time all of this broke and they didn’t do it,” – said the Russian leader.
“once again, this issue was raised during our meeting in China (in early September), indeed, my American partner, President Obama proposed once again to separate them”, – Putin confirmed. According to him, Obama “insisted that we first declared the day a “T” – day of silence, would stop the fighting, air strikes, and then for seven days they took on the responsibility to breed healthy opposition and jabhat al-Nusra”. The Russian President did not recount the details of that conversation, saying that was “confidential part” of the conversation.
“to listen to smart people and to convey our point of view”: quotes Putin “Valdai”
the U.S. broke the truce
“But the fact remains: instead of having to breed terrorists and the healthy part of the opposition, the American partners themselves broke this truce,” said the Russian head of state.
Putin also drew attention to the fact that in the beginning insisted that it is first necessary to breed terrorists and the opposition, and then stop the aircraft. “But in the end of the debate I agreed with the American partner, he insisted, and I agreed with him, went forward and said – okay, God is with him, we first declare a truce, won’t fly, won’t strike, please, that you seven days,” recounted the course of events the President of the Russian Federation.
“a Truce was declared on 12 September, on the 17th, American planes struck at Syrian troops, then units of ISIS went on the offensive. We were told that the strike was in error, and ISIS went on the offensive by accident. It may be so. But the truce was broken. And not our fault,” said the Russian leader. It is also advised to ask a question about Obama’s promises personally to the American leader during his next trip to Europe. “I think what you need to do it openly and honestly, and not just use them to affect our position on Syria,” Putin believes.
He reminded that “today is the ninth day, when the Russian and Syrian aircraft in Aleppo just doesn’t work.” “Here’s for another seven days, here’s ten more days, ten days now! Where the breeding of terrorists and a healthy part of the opposition?” – Putin was perplexed.

interpleading
the President also noted that it was improper to shift the blame for what is happening in Syria on Russia.
According to Putin, if the parties violate their commitments, to defeat terrorism would be impossible. “It is a difficult task (to defeat terrorism) and we are not inclined anyone to blame,” – said Putin.
however, he is convinced: “If we about something have agreed, it is necessary to perform and, in any case, we are not to blame and to accuse us of all mortal sins. It’s just not right”.
“We are keeping a low profile and also rude to our partners are not responsible, but everything has its limits – you can answer,” warned the Russian leader.
