At this point, several media sources, including Associated Press, report they know the details of the offer brought by Rex Tillerson to Moscow during his official visit. Now, everyone seems to be wondering what exactly Rex Tillerson and Sergey Lavrov discussed during their meeting in Moscow.
First of all, the sources claim that the USA is ready to unite forces with Russia to destroy the ISIS once and for all. Secondly, Bashar Asad has to quit anyway. He will be even allowed to go to Russia or Iran to avoid prosecution. Thirdly, a temporary government need to be established in Syria to back stabilization and holding a democratic election in Syria. Russia can stay in Syria to back security but they shouldn’t interfere with the local politics.
They say, Tillerson gave Putin some time to think about it without having to give an immediate answer. Indeed, Tillerson and Putin did meet in Moscow after the meeting with Lavrov even though such meeting was not on the president’s schedule. The meeting behind the closed doors is said to have been long but productive. At least, Donald Trump seems to be content with Rex Tillerson’s visit to Russia.
Moscow’s official comment was that Washington would not tell them what to do in Syria. However, Russia’s future activities will show what they actually decided to do.
