BEIRUT, (APP/AFP) – A Syrian opposition umbrella
group said on Saturday it welcomed a complex truce deal brokered by
Moscow and Washington provided it was honoured by the regime.
“We hope this will be the beginning of the end of the
civilians’ ordeal,” leading High Negotiations Committee member
Bassma Kodmani said.
“We welcome the deal if it is going to be enforced,” she
told the BBC, and said the HNC was “absolutely in favour” of a
cessation of hostilities.
In comments to AFP, she said the HNC “cautiously welcomed”
the agreement.
US Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister
Sergei Lavrov said that the truce, reached in Geneva late Friday, would come
into force on Monday.
