Special thanks for subs to George Dominik https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYH8swcp71EHt-88lkaMDTQ The Centre has a membership of more than 50 people and consists of 5 functional units: group analysis and planning Negotiating Group Group agreements and cooperation with foreign organizations Group information support a group providing humanitarian assistance to the population of Syria. The overwhelming majority of Russian Center officers have extensive experience in peacekeeping activities both under the auspices of the UN and other peacekeeping formats. Already from the name of the Centre divisions evident its main tasks: receiving on a single telephone number and e-mail addresses from representatives of local authorities and the armed groups of the desire to cease hostilities and begin negotiations on reconciliation; providing maximum assistance to all traded to the Centre for organizing contacts and further cooperation with the Syrian authorities for the signing of agreements on the cessation of hostilities and reconciliation; cooperation with international organizations in the delivery of humanitarian assistance to the people of Syria and the return of refugees from other regions and countries. All contacts of the Centre actively distributed through, first of all, the Syrian media on TV, radio, via SMS and e-mail newsletters, and on any other available channels. As soon as the contact details of the information has become available to the population of Syria - the active work of the Centre. There are first results: the Center began treatment flow. And it's not isolated cases - their dozens. All appeals, first carefully checked. We do not rule out individual acts of provocation towards the activities of the Centre and its staff. This work is very difficult, as provides not only talks on the phone, but leave the field for the practical implementation of the ceasefire and delivery of humanitarian aid to the population. Over the past two days Center has more than a dozen calls to specific locations, where now Russian servicemen are actively working. Areas of which receives appeals on a ceasefire and reconciliation, are located in various provinces in Syria. The staff of the center has been working with representatives of groups in different localities province of Hama, Homs, Latakia, Damascus and DERAA. One result of this work is to sign the application form of reconciliation, as it is, in particular, it was in the village DZHAVALIK and even in some other settlements of Homs province. There are practical results, and in the north of the province of Latakia. fighting stopped in the mountainous part of the province in the settlements GNAYMIYA, Laul and Borj Islam and signed the documents of the Armistice. Negotiations are still in some settlements Latakia province. In those areas and villages of Syria places where signed the reconciliation agreement, with the assistance of the Coordination Centre organized delivery of humanitarian supplies, basic necessities, as well as medical and other care. Achieving the Russian-American agreements satisfied by no means all. Especially in northern Syria, where Turkey continues firing large-caliber artillery Syrian border settlements. Selective blindness to the facts of international human rights organizations and the Western media is a serious surprise. Instead of unsubstantiated blame VKS Russia in indiscriminate attacks, we call Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Doctors Without Borders and other organizations to give their formal assessment of these criminal actions of Turkish armed forces. As for our cooperation with our American partners, the last military attaché at the US Embassy in Moscow were officially handed over to all the contact details of "hot line" (primary and backup channel), as mandated by the US-Russian agreement on a cease-fire in Syria. Gone day. So far, no response data received from the partners. It is not known whether this is a strange statement Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook is connected, having a very superficial - or rather distorted view of the achievements of the Russian-American agreement on the Syrian issue. Mr Cook has recently somehow said that the cease-fire in Syria - this is a test for the Russian authorities. Mr Cook would be necessary to temper his zeal and focus on activities associated with the organization, which he represents. That is - the Pentagon. Making it to him, unlike their predecessors, without the knowledge of military affairs - is not easy
