ASTANA TALKS


TASS Ambassador to Kazakhstan to represent US at Astana talks on Syria (http://tass.com/world/926496)




Mark Toner, the acting deputy spokesperson for the US State Department, told TASS on Saturday:

"We welcome and appreciate Kazakhstan’s invitation to participate as an observer.
Given our presidential inauguration and the immediate demands of the transition,
a delegation from Washington will not be attending the Astana conference.
The United States will be represented by our Ambassador to Kazakhstan," Toner said.

The spokesperson confirmed that the U.S. government
had received an invitation from Kazakhstan’s government
to attend the January 23 talks in Astana.

"The United States is committed to a political resolution to the Syrian crisis through a Syrian-owned process,
which can bring about a more representative, peaceful, and united Syria," Toner said.·

·Earlier, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov
said that Russia would welcome the participation of US representatives at the Astana talks:

"On Syria, we need not a deal, but cooperation," (cheeky comment... can't blame them ;) )
"Apparently, without the US participation it is impossible to settle constructively the Syrian problem,"
he added in a comment on preparations for the Syria peace talks due in Astana on January 23. (Monday)
