The US and Russia late Friday identified the war in Syria as the world’s principal “incubator” for terrorism, as they discussed tightening coordination to handle the five-year crisis.
During a joint press conference with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, US Secretary of State John Kerry said the problem is that “you and I” and other foreign ministers and leaders are now doing this almost on a weekly basis, and nowhere is there a greater hotbed or incubator for these terrorists than in Syria.
On his part, said that he agreed with Kerry to start work on development of a “road map” aimed at improving relations between Moscow and Washington, affirming efforts to strengthen ceasefire in Syria.
During his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin yesterday, Kerry expressed hope that there would be a real progress in Syria.
The United States and Russia can do much for peace, Kerry said, adding that meetings in Moscow covered not only situations in Syria, but also Ukraine and other issues, Kuna reported.
Young Herald reported that Kerry, after a day of talks in Moscow with his Russian counterpart, said more work was needed before those steps could be implemented, and that Russia and the United States still differed over the future of Assad.
