Moscow, Jan 26, 2016 (AFP) — Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Tuesday insisted that UN-backed Syria talks planned to start later this week will not be successful if Kurdish representatives are not invited.

"Without this participant the talks cannot achieve the results that we want, a definitive political resolution in Syria," Lavrov said, adding, however, that it was up to UN envoy Staffan de Mistura to decide which opposition groups to invite to the talks.
