Iranian diplomat: Idlib ceasefire agreement doesn’t apply to terrorists

A ceasefire agreement concerning Syria’s Idlib does not apply to terrorists, the Iranian Foreign Minister's Senior Aide for Political Affairs Ali Asghar Khaji said.

According to him, participants in the 13th international meeting on Syria in Kazakhstan’s Nur-Sultan agreed to continue efforts to implement the Sochi Memorandum, under which terrorists can't take advantage of the ceasefire, TASS reported.

At their Sochi meeting on September 17, 2018, presidents Vladimir Putin of Russia and Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey agreed to create a 15-20 kilometers wide demilitarized zone along the line of contact in the Idlib province. However, terrorist units are still active in the area.
