Seated under a portrait of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Foreign Minister Walid Muallem addresses a press conference in Damascus on December 19, 2011, pledging Syria's full cooperation with Arab observers after his government finally agreed to allow a mission in to monitor a deal to end nine months of bloodshed. The deal, signed at Arab League headquarters in Cairo after weeks of prevarication that had prompted the bloc to adopt sanctions, will last for an initial period of a month, renewable with the agreement of both sides, Muallem said.
