The 'Syrian talks' commenced in Astana yesterday have ended up with fiasco, as was expected.
The conference on Syria held in the capital of Kazakhstan, Astana under the leadership of Russia, Turkey and Iran, which did not include Kurds, democratic opposition and other states involved in the Syrian issue, has ended.
A joint declaration released after the conference admitted, although implicitly, that the talks did not suffice to come up with a true 'solution' that Turkey and the AKP regime had much flattered.
The declaration stressed that Tehran, Moscow and Ankara supported the request of the armed groups in Syria to attend the negotiations in Geneva. The declaration also highlighted support for the implementation of the draft No 2254 of the United Nations Security Council.
It was, however, not clarified if the Syrian regime and the 'opposition' groups participating in the talks supported the joint declaration.
In the meantime, Bashar Caferi on behalf of the Syrian delegation stated that a decision on which all parties could agree has been made in Astana.
The outcomes of the conference have thus proven the opinions that talks would be a serious failure for Turkey to be true.
Other outcomes of the talks is the participation of only one section of the so-called opposition and the exclusion of the Ankara-backed gangs in accordance with the policies of the Syrian regime and Russia.
