The real hope was that we could get some cease-fire agreement here,

I would hope the president would think a little longer about this from his perspective,

We are not involved. We are not going to break the cease-fire agreement.

The cease-fire agreement is in jeopardy, absolutely.

It is of paramount importance that both parties should meet urgently and start talks toward consolidating the cease- fire agreement.

It's imperative that something positive comes out of the negotiations in Geneva. The cease-fire agreement serves as the basis for a permanent peace settlement.
