In Syria, the armed conflict has been ongoing since 2011. Russia, Iran, Turkey, which are the guarantors of the ceasefire, have actively joined the settlement. During this time, Syria managed to almost completely defeat the terrorists, begin a political settlement, return refugees and restore the infrastructure destroyed by the war. A constitutional committee which included the opposition was created. The first meeting of the committee was held on October 30 in Geneva.
