The Russian Defense Ministry has announced that an agreement on safe zones in Syria will come into force on Friday at 21:00 GMT.
Turkey, Iran and Russia signed a memorandum on establishing four safe zones in Syria on Thursday during another round of the Astana peace talk.
“It was supported by all principal players, including the UN, the US administration, Saudi Arabia and other nations, so there is a certain degree of guarantee that the memorandum will be implemented,” Deputy Defense Minister Aleksandr Fomin said according to RT.
Thus, military activities and aircraft flights in the safe zones will be banned starting from May 6.
