Kerry welcomes Syria ceasefire, says it’s not enough

US Secretary of State John Kerry has welcomed the Syrian army’s declaration of a 72-hour ceasefire but says he is working with Russia and others to transform it into a lasting truce.

“We very much welcome the Syrian army’s declaration of a period of quiet in celebration of Eid. We very much hope it will be honored by all parties,” Kerry tells reporters during a visit to ex-Soviet Georgia.
