阿薩德：敘利亞願意協助落實停火計劃大綱

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad confirmed to his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin that Syria is ready to help implement a cease-fire planned to begin on Saturday.

The two leaders spoke by telephone Wednesday and highlighted the importance of continuing to fight terror groups such as Islamic State and Jabhat al-Nusra. The militants are not part of a U.S.-Russian proposal for a cessation of hostilities.

Other groups are supposed to say by Friday whether they are taking part.

The main opposition High Negotiations Committee has said its participation is contingent on the delivery of humanitarian aid and the end of sieges and airstrikes against civilians.

Russia's Interfax news agency quoted Foreign Ministry spokesman Dmitry Peskov saying the cease-fire is the government's main focus in Syria and that it is premature to talk about any backup plan.敘利亞總統阿薩德向俄羅斯總統普京證實，敘利亞願意幫助落實預定星期六生效的停火協議。

這兩位領導人星期三進行了電話交談，強調繼續打擊恐怖組織伊斯蘭國組織和努斯拉陣線的重要性。美國和俄羅斯建議結束敵對狀態的協議不包括這些激進分子。

其他團體要在星期五之前表明是否參加停火。

敘利亞主要反對派高級談判委員會說，他們參加停火的先決條件是，運送人道主義援助並結束對平民的圍困和空襲。

俄羅斯國際文傳電訊社引述俄羅斯外交部發言人佩斯科夫的話說，俄羅斯關注的重點是敘利亞停火，現在談論任何備選計劃還爲時過早。
