MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Damascus is using the silence regime in Syria's specific areas to transfer its forces to Aleppo, Syria's opposition High Negotiations Committee (HNC) delegation head Asaad Zoubi said Sunday.
Russia and the United States brokered the regime of silence that is implemented in the Damascus’ suburbs for 24 hours and in the northern Latakia province for 72 hours from midnight of April 30. The ceasefire in the Damascus' suburbs was since extended for another 24 hours, till the end of May 1.
"The truce in Latakia, eastern Ghouta is only needed to enable the government to transfer troops to Aleppo," Zoubi told Sky News Arabia TV channel.
Syria has been mired in civil war since 2011, with government forces fighting numerous opposition groups, including the Western-backed allegedly moderate factions, as well as Islamic terrorist groups.
