Russia stays mute on possible US invitation to Syria talks

The Kremlin on Friday declined to confirm whether it would invite the United States to Syria peace talks later this month after Washington was excluded from brokering a recent truce in the war-torn country.


Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said Thursday that Turkey and Russia had agreed that Washington "should be definitely invited" to talks under their auspices on the war-torn country's political future set to take place in Kazakhstan's capital Astana on January 23.

Asked to comment on the Turkish statement, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: "I cannot say anything about this for now."
