\n\t\t\t\u201cFor the opposition, the message is very clear: if they were planning to win the war, facts are proving that is not the case. So now it is time to win the peace,\u201d de Mistura told reporters in Geneva on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe UN special envoy noted that the war was almost over, as many countries have concerted efforts to defeat Daesh Takfiri terrorists in Syria and a national ceasefire should follow soon after.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\u201cVictory can only be if there is a sustainable political long-term solution. Otherwise instead of war, God forbid, we may see plenty of low intensity guerrilla (conflicts) going on for the next 10 years, and you will see no reconstruction, which is a very sad outcome of winning a war,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tDe Mistura plans to join the next round of negotiations between representatives from the Syrian government and foreign-sponsored armed opposition besides delegates from Iran, Russia, and Turkey as mediators in the Kazakh capital city of Astana between September 14 and 15.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tHe has sought to unify the opposition after hosting seven rounds of largely unsuccessful talks in Geneva.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe UN envoy underlined the need for resolving the fate of Idlib at the Astana talks, saying, \u201cI am confident…there will be a non-conflictual solution \u2013 let us say not a new Aleppo, that is what we want to avoid at any cost, if we have learned from the past.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tHe called for the formation of a political framework amid liberation of more areas from the control of terrorists groups, saying, \u201cThe issue is: is the government, after the liberation of Dayr al-Zawr and Raqqah, ready and prepared to genuinely negotiate and not simply announce victory, which we all know, and they know too, cannot be announced because it will not be sustainable without a political process?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\u201cWill the opposition be able to be unified and realistic enough to realize they did not win the war?\u201d he further asked.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tProgress on Idlib<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tOn Wednesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that experts from Russia, Turkey and Iran have made considerable progress in efforts to agree methods of ensuring security in the de-escalation zone in Syria\u2019s Idlib province.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\u201cAs for the Idlib province, contacts are underway between the guarantor countries and initiators of the Astana process – Russia, Iran and Turkey,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\u201cIn the course of [these consultations], we have made considerable progress to agree on the parameters, configuration and methods of ensuring security in the de-escalation zone in the Idlib province. I hope we will hear more specific news in the near future,\u201d Lavrov noted.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tSince January, Astana has hosted five rounds of peace talks which have so far resulted in an agreement on four de-escalation zones across Syria.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tAccording to the Russian Foreign Ministry, three of the enclaves had been created to date, in the country\u2019s sprawling central province of Homs, in the Eastern Ghouta area of the southern Rif Dimashq Province, and a southwestern militant-controlled stretch along the border with Jordan.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe upcoming talks aim to facilitate the creation of the fourth zone, in the western Syrian Idlib Province, where significant concentrations of Takfiri terrorists, most notably from al-Nusra Front, are operating. The successful materialization of that prospect is expected to give civilians an opportunity to return to peaceful life in Idlib.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe talks in Astana have been going on in tandem with UN-brokered Geneva talks.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tWhen the first round of the Astana talks was organized, the Geneva talks had been stalled for months. The talks in the Kazakh capital then provided momentum for the UN-brokered talks, helping revive them.<\/p>\n
