Russia says preparation for Astana talks on Syria intensive
By Trend
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said preparation for the Astana meeting on the Syrian crisis is quite intensive, Sputnik reported.
“It is unclear how long the talks will last, we can say nothing more specific now,” Peskov said, noting that Russia will be represented at the talks “at the expert level.”
Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has earlier said that he agreed with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan to offer to the conflicting parties in Syria to continue peace talks in Astana.
Kazakhstan’s President Nursultan Nazarbayev supported this initiative and expressed readiness to provide a platform for such negotiations in Astana.
The Astana meeting is expected to be held on January 23 while a meeting in Geneva will be held on February 8 under the auspices of the UN Special Envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura.
