Lavrov, Kerry hold phone talk over situation in Aleppo and Ukraine

YEREVAN, AUGUST 24, ARMENPRESS. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and US Secretary of State John Kerry held a telephone conversation on August 24 to discuss the outlook for concerted action against terrorists in Syria, the Russian Foreign Ministry said, reports TASS.

"There has been a discussion of the situation in Syria, including Aleppo, where government troops with support from the Russian military have been conducting a humanitarian operation, and the outlook for concerted action by Russia and the United States in the struggle against terrorists to build up from the previously achieved agreements, including the need for drawing a clear border line between the Washington-oriented Syrian opposition groups and the terrorists groups that use these as a cover and to which truce does not apply," the Russian Foreign Ministry said.

The sides also exchanged views on the Ukrainian crisis. Lavrov urged the US “to use its influence on Kyiv to keep it away from provocations and push it towards a dialogue with Donbass and the implementation of agreements.

Lavrov and Kerry are due to hold talks in Geneva on August 26, the Foreign Ministry told TASS earlier in the day. The talks are expected to focus on the anti-terrorist cooperation of Russia and the United States in Syria. Earlier experts of the two countries held consultations in the Swiss city to discuss the possibilities of this cooperation.
