A Syrian minister declared victory for his country on Sunday, thanking Russia.
"We welcome these agreements. On the one hand, they will help Syrians come out of the crisis, and on the other hand, they prevented the war against Syria by having removed a pretext for those who wanted to unleash it," Minister Ali Haidar was quoted as saying.
He called the deal an achievement of Russian diplomacy, and "a victory for Syria won thanks to our Russian friends".
