(5 May 2017) Four de-escalation zones in Syria will go into effect at midnight on Friday, according to the Russian military.
At a Russian defence ministry briefing in Moscow on Friday, the military also said that the deal, which was signed by Russia, Iran and Turkey in Kazakhstan on Thursday, could be extended to more areas of Syria.
The statements came as officers from Russia's Defence Ministry and General Staff briefed reporters on Friday on the details of the agreement.
Syrian rebel and opposition representatives who attended the talks in the Kazakh capital, Astana, have expressed doubts that the agreement can be implemented and have denounced Iran's role as a guarantor of the deal.
An official of Russia's military general staff said countries other than Russia, Turkey and Iran may take part in securing safe zones in Syria.
