Militants in Syria’s south return to talks with Russia amid efforts to end fighting

[PRESSTV] Militants in southern Syria say they are returning to talks with Russia, an ally of the Damascus government, after a one-day pause in negotiations.

“The talks will resume, but they are waiting to see whether the meeting will be in the Nassib border crossing or in Busra al-Sham, the same place as last time,” said Hussein Abazeed, a spokesman for militants, on Thursday.

Another statement from the joint operations room of the militants in southern Syria said they were willing to return to the talks, an apparent sign they fear huge losses among their ranks as a result of the government’s anti-terror offensive in the area.

"We agree on an immediate cessation of hostilities on both sides to have a new round of negotiations," the statement said.

Russia, which has been brokering talks with militants in southern, started a new round of talks with militants in southern Syria on Wednesday in an effort to make them hand back the areas they control to the Damascus government without fighting as the national army pushes ahead with a liberation operation there.
