The separation of the opposition from terrorists offers the only way to settle the situation in Syria, Russian Foreign Ministry's official spokesperson, Maria Zakharova told Rossiya'24 news channel on Wednesday.

"The recipe is simple," she said. "It has been specified in detail and approved of and you don't need to look for it anywhere."

"It stipulates the separation of opposition call them any names you please, because some call them militants while others say they are the moderate opposition, the very opposition that hasn't laid down arms and continues combat operations," Zakharova said.

After this separation, the political process must start, she added.
