Syria opposition: No indication Russia has interest in ceasefire
NEW YORK, Sept 23 (Reuters) - There are no indications that Russia, an ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, has an interest in a ceasefire in Syria, an opposition negotiator told Reuters on Friday.
Bassma Kodmani, a member of the opposition High Negotiations Committee, said the only way in which Assad would ground airplanes would be if "there is a credible threat of retaliation." (Reporting by Yara Bayoumy; editing by Grant McCool)
