Moscow, SANA – Russian President’s Special Representative for the Middle East and Africa, Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov asserted that Moscow calls for a durable truce on the entire Syrian territory, the duration of which will not confine to the month of Ramadan.

Bogdanov said in press statements on Thursday “We’re saying it’s important to impose peace once and for all and to create more suitable conditions for a resumption and conduct of negotiations and for tapping a political solution.”

“More than that, we speak in favor of starting earlier than Ramadan and never stopping (the truce),” Bogdanov added.
