Syrian rebel factions will not attend a new round of negotiations with government figures in the Kazakh capital, an opposition delegation spokesman told AFP Monday.
"Rebel groups have decided not to participate in Astana," said Osama Abu Zeid, saying one reason for the boycott was "unfulfilled pledges related to the cessation of hostilities."
The third round of talks in Astana, brokered by government ally Russia and rebel backer Turkey, is scheduled to begin on Tuesday.
Earlier Monday, Russia, Turkey and Iran were pressing ahead with a fresh round of Syria talks in Kazakhstan, Kazakh Foreign Minister Kairat Abdrakhmanov said.
"We are awaiting confirmations from the other parties to the meeting," Abdrakhmanov told Parliament, adding that delegations had already started arriving in the Kazakh capital, Astana
