According to TASS news agency on November 14, Russia's special envoy to Syria, Mr. Alexander Lavrentyev, said that there is a possibility of ending the war in the Middle East during the US presidency of Donald Trump.

“It is too early to talk about this because we should wait at least until the inauguration of the president. Perhaps, after January 20, it will be more or less clear whether there will be any changes in US foreign policy. Of course, we think that we will see such changes. We understand Mr. Trump, but of course, we will wait to see whether there will be any changes in the stance on the Middle East,” he said.

“But anyway, we hope that some agreements, including the one on Syria, will be reached,” the diplomat added.

“The conflict in Syria has been going on for more than 13 years, almost 14 years. So it’s time to end it, especially since Trump has pledged to do his best to prevent armed conflicts around the world,” Lavrentyev noted. “Is there any possibility of progress? I think so.”
