Kerry Says U.S. Hopes Syria Truce a Positive Sign of Things to Come

World

TBILISI- U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Wednesday he hoped a 72-hour truce in Syria was “a harbinger” that more ambitious and long-lasting similar deals could be struck, according to Reuters.

“We very much welcome the Syrian army declaration of 72-hours of quiet,” Kerry told a news conference in Tbilisi, adding that discussions were underway to try to extend the truce.

 “We are trying very hard to grow these current discussions into a longer lasting … enforceable, accountable cessation of hostilities that could change the dynamics on the ground,” he said.

The Syrian army declared a 72-hour “regime of calm” covering all of Syria from 1 a.m. on Wednesday (2200 GMT Tuesday), a military source told Reuters.
