All parties have agreed to put in place a monitoring and verification mechanism that will ensure maintenance of peace and impose penalties on the violating party, Turkey's Foreign Ministry said. It added that a follow-up meeting would be held in Istanbul on Thursday to decide how the mechanism will be implemented.
