Parties attending the talks failed to reach an agreement on uninterrupted humanitarian access to the regions under Assad blockade and releasing detainees from Assad prisons, according Orient News’s correspondent who attended the conclusion press conference held by the Kazakh foreign minister.
Reading a joint statement from the three countries, Kazakh Foreign Minister Kairat Abdrakhmanov said they welcomed progress in the implementation of the memorandum on the creation of de-escalation areas in Syria reached on May 4.
The countries emphasized the "significant" reduction of violence on the ground in Syria as a result of measures taken to strengthen and maintain the ceasefire regime, including launching the deescalation areas and creating the security zones, the Kazakh minister said.
The conclusion brief statement was followed by a press conference by the opposition delegation in Astana where Major Yasser Abdulrahim, the spokesman of the armed opposition delegation, raised photos of the children who were killed today in Damascus eastern countryside’s Jisreen by Assad artillery shelling.
"Stop killing civilians in Ghouta, Hama countryside and Deir ez-Zoor for the success of any upcoming conference," Abudlrahim said.
Representatives of the Assad regime, armed opposition groups, the three guarantor countries, as well as delegations from the UN, Jordan and the US attended the talks which did not make any breakthrough, according to observers.
