This decision has been approved with the leadership of the Syrian Arab Republic.
All corridors, which had been prepared by the Russian Centre for reconciliation, in Aleppo will be operating for withdrawal of citizens and insurgents.
Taking into account the incapability of our American colleagues to separate opposition from terrorists, we are addressing to all armed groups’ leaders to cease the warfare and withdraw from Aleppo with the weapon.
Two corridors are opened for this purpose. All the governmental troops and hardware will be withdrawn from the corridors.
The first corridor leads to the Syrian and Turkish border, and the second one leads to Idlib.
Other six corridors are operating to give way for civilians, medical and casualty evacuation.
