Russian President Vladimir Putin hopes that the conference on the Syria crisis held in Kazakhstan’s capital, when its participants formalized impossibility of a military solution to the Syria conflict, will be a sound basis for the talks in Geneva, TASS reports.
"I believe it important to point out that the participants of the process in Astana have documented the impossibility of a military solution to the Syria crisis," Putin said at a meeting with Jordan’s King Abdullah II on Wednesday.
"We are hoping very much that the Astana talks will be a sound basis in order this negotiating process can be continued in Geneva," he added.
