The Russian Reconciliation Center for Syria, officially known as the Centre for Reconciliation of Opposing Sides and Refugee Migration Monitoring in the Syrian Arab Republic, founded on 23 February 2016, stated that it was a "peace monitoring center and information office" whose stated aim is to speed the peace negotiations between the Syrian Arab Republic and opposition groups.[citation needed] It was a joint Turkish–Russian government enterprise founded in agreement with the US-led coalition[citation needed] and was headquartered in Khmeimim Air Base, Latakia. It was also reportedly tasked with coordinating humanitarian missions and organizing localities to sign up to ceasefire agreements.[1]
In May 2017, the reconciliation center was able to deliver 4.7 tonnes of humanitarian aid in 10 missions within 24 hours, according to the Russian Ministry of Defence.[2]
