Number of Syrian opposition figures met on Monday and Tuesday in Astana, Kazakhstan's capital, in step to form common ground before planned Geneva talks over Syria but no concrete outcome had been reached as key opposition group the National Coalition boycotted the talks.
The meeting, which held at the request Randa Qasis, President and Founder of the Movement of the Pluralistic Society, has discussed returning to talks in Geneva, which collapsed last year, but no decisions were taken.
Astana's meeting was a continuation for Moscow talks which was boycotted by the Syrian Coalition last April and January.
The Syrian National Coalition has said it will only take part in the talks if they lead to Bashar Assad's departure.
Some of NC members opposed any participation in such talks while
others said we should be more flexible.
Meanwhile, most of the factions fighting in Syria, including the most powerful single insurgent force, the Islamic State, have had nothing to do with any political discussions between the Syrian government and its political opponents.
