In a press conference held at New York on Friday on the sideline of the UN General Assembly meetings, Lavrov said that the concept of de-escalation zones in Syria is limited to six months, and that in parallel with this concept there are efforts to encourage national reconciliation in order to launch intra-Syrian dialogue and pave the way towards political dialogue.

The Minister also affirmed the importance of what is being achieved in Geneva and Astana.

"We have the so-called deconflicting, but this is probably not enough when fight against terrorism is in progress, when we destroy terrorist hotbeds in Raqqa and Deir ez-Zor," he said. "In order to deal a final blow to terrorists in fact, not just deconflicting is need, coordination is necessary. However, American military are forbidden from coordination," he added.

Lavrov said Russia has informed the United States that any attempts to hamper the counterterrorism operation in Syria will not be left without reaction.

"We are delighted to meet, to make sure we are on the same page about the Syrian settlement, fight against terrorism, resumption of nationwide dialogue and to outline further steps with regard to all these issues," Lavrov said.

"I am convinced that successes of the Syrian army supported by Russia's Aerospace Force, in particularly in Deir ez-Zor and other regions, are very impressive," he said. "It is a decisive contribution to the fight against ISIL (former name of the Islamic State terrorist group banned in Russia)."

"We will be ready to heed your assessments on the issue and the situation in the country on the whole," Lavrov said.

"We have regular talks with the Americans, the Department of State and Pentagon. We have explained what is going on, as the Russian Defense Ministry had earlier announced publicly," he emphasized.

"We have sent a clear message that if there are attempts to complicate the end of the counterterrorism operation from the areas that are close to American 'friends,' or what else they can be called, it will not be left without reaction," Lavrov concluded.

His remarks came during an international ministerial meeting on Syria at the UN headquarters in New York.
