Local Editor
Turkish and Russian governments agreed the terms of a ceasefire in Syria, Turkish state media reported.
The Turkish foreign minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu held a meeting Tuesday in Ankara between Syrian opposition and the regime aimed at establishing a "permanent" solution to the ongoing crisis, according to Russian news agencies.
A Syria war ceasefire will now come into effect after midnight, according to the pro-Turkish government Anadolu Agency which reportedly quotes unnamed sources.
The agency said that terror groups, without mentioning which ones, will be not be part of the agreement.
It also reported that the peace process will go ahead in the Kazakhstan capital of Astana, supervised by Turkish and Russian leadership, if the ceasefire holds.
There has been no immediate confirmation from Turkey's Foreign Ministry.
Russia, Iran and Turkey said last week they were ready to help broker a peace deal after holding talks in Moscow.
It follows the evacuation of an estimated 34,000 from the battered city of Aleppo earlier this month.
