According to Anatolia, Minister of Media Affairs of Jordan Mohammad Momani stressed representatives from Russia, Jordan, and US gathered in Oman on July 7 to reach an agreement on creating a de-escalation zone in southern Syria.

TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - He noted that the de-escalation zone will support regulations which the three countries reached an agreement on so that it supports a ceasefire along the southwestern boundaries of Syria.

The negotiation on the consensus was an initiative of Jordan kicked off from May leading to announcing a ceasefire and ending tensions in southern Syria on July 7.

Syria has only just begun to emerge from a devastating civil war that began in early 2011 when the US-backed Daesh and other terrorist groups started to topple the Syria's government.

Since then, hundreds of thousands of people have been killed in the conflict and more than 10 million displaced, according to the UN.
