The Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said Wednesday that planned peace talks brokered by Turkey and Russia could fail if the ceasefire in Syria does not hold.
Cavusoglu blamed "forces" supporting the "Syrian" regime, particularly the Lebanese Hezbollah, of violating the truce, which came into effect on Dec.30.
“If we cannot stop the increasing violations, the Astana process could fail,” Cavusoglu told the Anadolu Agency’s Editors’ Desk in Ankara.
Negotiations to reach a political resolution to the six-year war in Syria are due to begin in the Kazakhstan capital Astana on Jan. 23.
