Non-Syrian Terrorists Suspend Participation in Astana Peace Talks

Syrian militant groups on Wednesday suspended their participation in the latest round of Russian-backed peace talks in Kazakhstan in protest at “ongoing bombardments in the war-torn country”, opposition sources told AFP.

“The militant delegation is suspending the meetings because of the violent air strikes on civilians. The suspension will continue until shelling stops across all Syria,” a militant source in the Kazakh capital Astana told AFP.
