US Secretary of State John Kerry says Washington and Moscow have agreed NOT to discuss alleged violations of a ceasefire in Syria that came into force at the weekend. Speaking at a news conference with German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Kerry said that teams in Geneva and Amman would look into reports of violations on both sides. He added that he has agreed with his Russian counterpart to rather intensify work on a mechanism to ensure that the strikes solely target the Daesh and Nusra Front terrorists. Meanwhile, a top Russian military commander has warned about Turkey’s provocative military buildup near the Syria border, saying the move could disrupt the peace process. Also, the Syrian Foreign Ministry has accused Saudi Arabia of attempting to thwart the truce.
