Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - Russian President Vladimir Putin says agreement reached on Syria cease-fire, Russia and Turkey to act as guarantors.

Putin reportedly discussed topics including the situation in Syria during phone calls with Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, the Kremlin confirmed on Thursday.

Turkey had earlier said that Lebanon's militant Hezbollah group, which has sent thousands of fighters to support President Bashar Assad, should withdraw from Syria as a condition.

Turkey will serve as guarantor of rebel compliance, while Russia would guarantee adherence by the government.
