"So far we have agreed that in Munich that the international Syrian Support group will work without the opposition’s participation, and they aren't included in the Vienna format," Bogdanov told RIA Novosti.
Syria has been in a state of civil war since 2011. The country’s government is fighting against opposition forces, as well as radical Islamist militant organizations, such as the Daesh group, banned in Russia, as well as a range of other states.
The International Syria Support Group (ISSG), an international format aiming to resolve the Syrian crisis, was formed in November shortly after the beginning of the Syria peace talks in Vienna.
The format currently involves Russia, the Arab League countries, the European Union and some of its member states, as well as China, Iran, Turkey, the United Nations and the United States.
