YEREVAN, APRIL 28, ARMENPRESS. UN Special Envoy Staffan de Mistura called the Presidents of Russia and the United States to salvage the "barely alive" ceasefire regime in Syria and revitalize the damaged peace process, Reuters reports. De Mistura summarized the results of the regular round of negotiations over Syrian issue.

"There is no reason that both of them (Putin and Obama) which have been putting so much political capital in that success story and have a common interest in not seeing Syria ending up in another cycle of war should not be able to revitalize what they have created”, he said.

De Mistura, asked whether Assad’s future was discussed, replied: "We didn’t get into names of people... but actually how to change the current governance. And I must say that the concept of a new government and a political transition with a new constitution is quite a lot already in terms of preparing of what could be the next steps."

He issued a document saying the two sides remain far apart in their vision of a political transition, but shared some "commonalities," including the view "that the transitional governance could include members of the present government and the opposition, independents and others."

De Mistura said the new round of negotiations will be held after the full restoration of ceasefire regime.
