Russian Reconciliation Center for Syria
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 23 February 2016, states that it is a "peace monitoring center and information office" whose stated aim is to speed the peace negotiations between the Syrian Arab Republic and opposition groups. It is a joint Turkish-Russian government enterprise founded in agreement with the US-led coalition and is headquartered in Khmeimim Air Base, Latakia, Syria. It is also reportedly tasked with coordinating humanitarian missions and organizing localities to sign up to ceasefire agreements.
In May 2017, the reconciliation center was able to deliver 4.7 tonnes of humanitarian aid in 10 missions within 24 hours.
The Russian Reconciliation Center has also reported on so-called "video brigades" that carry out staged filming of made-up scenes after airstrikes, shelling and incidents involving chemical weapons. It has also alleged that "consultants" for the brigades were known to locals as Al Jazeera cameramen. Al Jazeera has denied similar claims.Commanders
