GENEVA (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says the United States and Russia have finalized a plan to reduce violence in Syria and lead to a political transition ending more than five years of war.
Kerry says the deal clinched with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov could be a "turning point" for the conflict, if implemented.
He said the nationwide cease-fire would become effective at sundown Monday.
He spoke early Saturday at a joint press conference with Lavrov after a marathon day of negotiations in Geneva.
