Who breaks the truce
The Federation Council speaker Valentina Matviyenko has accused the Turkish authorities of trying to disrupt the ceasefire regime in Syria and exacerbate the situation there. This is done because with the entry into force of the armistice Ankara is rapidly losing the levers of influence in Syria, and deprived of smuggled oil, which drove the Turkish territory, "Islamic state", she said.
"Attempts to derail the ceasefire in Syria and to aggravate the situation there. Including Turkey, which was originally pursued in Syria for their geopolitical interests, continues to fire on the Kurdish population, although the agreements, the resolutions of the UN Security Council is not allowed", — said Matvienko, RIA Novosti.

Matvienko also recalled that Turkey still blocks the invitation of the Kurds in the inter-Syrian negotiations in Geneva.
"This position runs counter to the UN resolution, but Ankara is persisting. Which, of course, prevents the development of the peace process in Syria, the consolidation of forces against international terrorism," she said.
The West appreciated Russia's efforts

According to Matvienko, Russia's actions in Syria have confirmed the status of Russia as a global power, without which it is impossible to solve any international problems. This understanding is growing in the West, she said.
This understanding "is growing, and the realization that all attempts to isolate Russia from the international community, to harm our national interests, to prevent the development of the country fail", — said Matvienko.
