Assad sees truce 'glimmer of hope'

- Syrian President Bashar al-Assad sees the cessation of hostilities came into force on Saturday in his country,, a glimmer of hope ''. He says in an interview with German television being broadcast Tuesday.

,, We will play our role to make the whole thing work, '' he added in the interview with ARD Weltspiegel. The additional program will be fully aired later in the day.

Assad said the Syrian army had to react apart on violations of the cease-fire in order to give the agreement a chance.,, The terrorists have violated the deal from day one.
