Syrian rebels to attend Kazakhstan talks – report | | | Sriya 16 jan Syrian rebel groups have decided to attend peace talks backed by Russia and Turkey in Kazakhstan to press for implementation of a widely violated ceasefire, rebel officials said on Monday. Rebel groups took the decision at meetings that are underway in Ankara, and are now working to form a delegation that will be different to one sent to peace talks in Geneva last year by a Saudi-backed opposition group. “The factions will go and the first thing they will discuss will be the matter of the ceasefire,” said an official in a Free Syrian Army rebel group. A second official, Zakaria Malahifji of the Fastaqim rebel group, said: “The majority of the groups decided to attend. Discussions will be on the ceasefire - the humanitarian issues - aid deliveries, release of detainees.” (Reuters) | | | |
