Moscow, SANA- Spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova said that Moscow and Washington achieved progress during the past six months regarding formulating joint approaches for a crisis settlement in Syria.<\/p>\n
During a press conference in Moscow on Thursday, Zakharova added that efforts are underway to formulate a mechanism of coordination on Syria and they entered a crucial stage, explaining that what is currently happening is a very difficult and complicated process through diplomatic and military channels between the Russian and US sides in order to coordinate the formula, adding that Moscow is doing its best to ensure the success of efforts to establish such a mechanism.<\/p>\n
Zakharova said that mixing the positions of terrorist organizations and factions of the so-called \u201cmoderate opposition\u201d represents a stumbling block in the framework of the crisis settlement in Syria, noting that if they are separated, there won\u2019t be any questions about how to direct strikes against the terrorists’ positions, including questions by media outlets about civilian deaths due to the airstrikes.<\/p>\n
Zakharova recalled that the United States publicly pledged to ensure the separation of the so-called \u201d moderates\u201d from terrorist organizations\u2019 positions, then it confirmed to Russia at the experts level that this process will not take more than two weeks, but in fact this process has dragged on for months and it is now approaching a dead end.<\/p>\n
In another context, Zakharova said that there is disagreement with Turkey over the crisis settlement in Syria which Russia is trying to overcome through dialogue and international formulas, adding that the work started in detail with the Turkish side for the completion of the first scenario in this regard.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe that this work which will continue at different levels is constructive and positive,\u201d Zakharova said, adding that contradictions can\u2019t be solved overnight.<\/p>\n
