ASTANA (Sputnik) — On Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that together with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan he would offer Syrian conflicting parties to resume negotiations in Astana. Putin believes the Astana talks may serve as a supplement to the Geneva talks.

"If there is an agreement to conduct talks on Syrian future, and Kazakhstan receives a request to host the meeting between the government and the opposition, we will carefully consider our answer and present our position, in a timely manner," the ministry said.
