Whilst the Russian-Turkish ceasefire agreement offers the best route to peace in Syria, and in theory gives the Syrian army the space to rebuild and to take the war to Al-Qaeda and ISIS, its success ultimately depends too much on the commitment of Turkish President Erdogan to invest too much hope in its success.As my colleague Adam Garrie has previously reported, on 31st December 2017 the United Nations Security Council unanimously supported Resolution 2336, a Russian drafted Resolution enshrining the Russian-Turkish ceasefire plan for Syria.Before discussing this ceasefire plan in detail, I would briefly say that it is Russia's invariable practice to present documents of this sort to the UN Security Council, and to have them enshrined in a UN Security Council Resolution.
The United Nations Security Council unanimously votes in favor of the Russian and Turkey-backed ceasefire currently in effect in Syria.
