Syrian opposition talking to Russia about Deraa peace deal, rebel spokesman says

AMMAN, June 30 (Reuters) The Syrian opposition began negotiations with Russian officers about an agreement to restore state sovereignty over rebel-held parts of the southern Deraa province, rebel negotiators said on Saturday.
They said a six-member civilian and military committee set up earlier by southern rebels held a preliminary meeting along the administrative borders of neighboring Sweida province.
"The committee held its first meeting with Russian officers who presented their demands," said Ibrahim Jabawi, a spokesman of the central operations room set up by the main Free Syrian Army groups in southern Syria. A second round of talks was expected on Saturday.
