Russia has proposed to the United States repeatedly that disputable issues related to the military activities in Syria be discussed but was answered with silence, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told a news conference on Saturday.
Lavrov has said the disagreements are mutual but cooperation should be improved to battle terrorism effectively.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has disagreed with the logic that Syria's President Bashar Assad is a source of all troubles in that country.
"I cannot agree that Assad is the source of all this," Lavrov said. "ISIL [the former name of the Islamic State terrorist group - eds. TASS] ... appeared ten years ago rather than three or four years ago. I am a little worried by the phrase John [Kerry] said that if Assad steps down, the regional nations will unite to defeat ISIL.".
The UN secretary general has ordered to draft plans of monitoring the truce in Syria.
"We have confirmed our determination to continue the work on creating conditions for a ceasefire and to do it in the context of a political process being launched," Lavrov said. "We have received information from the UN secretary general that he issued instructions to his staff to draft plans of monitoring the eventual ceasefire on behalf of the UN.".

- Tragedy in Paris
The tragedy in Paris has revealed that the nations' positions on Syria's President Bashar Assad's future has no significance for terrorists.
"The UN Security Council has not once said in its resolutions that no justification to terrorism can be possible," Lavrov said. "The terror attacks in Paris and the statement of the ISIL [former name of the Islamic State terrorist group - eds. TASS] claiming responsibility for them have showed - it does not matter whether you are for Assad or against him. You are an enemy for the ISIL and so Assad is not the point.".
