Kazakhstan’s Foreign Minister Erlan Idrissov plans to meet with members of the Syrian opposition, currently holding talks in Astana, a source familiar with the situation told RIA Novosti Tuesday.

ASTANA (Sputnik) — Some 30 opposition figures arrived in the Kazakh capital on Monday for a fresh round of talks aimed at resolving the four-year Syrian Civil War.

Majority of Syrian Opposition Sign Final Document at Reconciliation Talks
"A meeting with Kazakhstan’s foreign minister is scheduled for the morning," the source said.

Earlier on Tuesday, the majority of Syrian opposition envoys signed a final document on the results of the two-day reconciliation talks.

Representatives of Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government did not attend the negotiations in Astana.

UN-backed consultations between sides to the Syrian crisis began in Geneva, Switzerland, earlier this month.

Syria's warring parties have met twice over the last three years at UN-backed Geneva conferences and twice in the Russian capital of Moscow but failed to reach a practical solution toward ending the violence that has killed more than 220,000 people.
