Damascus – “The Russian and American proposal ]regarding a ceasefire in Syria] is a step that opens up hope for the country. The work we are doing these days is to prevent parties from putting forth preconditions. Hopefully this will open the transition process that could lead to the dismissal of Bashar al-Assad: it’s a narrow path that today appears feasible,” stated Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni at the Lower Chamber.
