\n\t\t\tTurkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s spokesman Ibrahim Kalin said on Sunday that the meeting had been delayed and Syrian Kurdish groups such as the Democratic Union Party (PYD) would not be invited if it is held later.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\u201cRussia told us that the meeting has now been postponed and that the PYD will not be invited,\u201d the spokesman told broadcaster NTV in an interview.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tTurkey had been troubled by the possible involvement of the PYD, which is considered by Ankara to be a terror organization.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\u201cWe immediately objected,” Kalin said, adding, “The Kremlin then got in touch with us and said they were postponing the meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t“So as of now, if there is no change, the meeting will not be taking place on November 18 but at a later date.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tKurdish forces, mainly the PYD\u00a0and its military wing the YPG, are currently in control of nearly all of Syria\u2019s entire northern border with Turkey.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tAnkara accuses the PYD of having links with the Kurdistan Workers\u2019 Party (PKK), which has been fighting for an autonomous Kurdish region inside Turkey since the 1980s.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tRussia was planning to hold the Congress of Syrian National Dialogue in Sochi to bring together various parties to the conflict in Syria. The plan had been announced by Russia after the latest peace talks on Syria, which were also backed by Turkey and Iran, in the Kazakh capital, Astana.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tKazakhstan\u2019s capital has hosted several rounds of peace talks on Syria since January.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tIran, Russia and Turkey, which serve as guarantor states in the peace process, plan to map out de-escalation zones in Syria\u2019s militant-held northwestern province of Idlib, the central province of Homs and the\u00a0Eastern Ghouta\u00a0area outside of the capital Damascus, and exchange viewpoints on other matters such as prisoner exchange.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe talks in Astana have been going on in tandem with another series of talks\u00a0held in Geneva and brokered by the UN.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tSince early 2011, Syria has been experiencing a deadly conflict the government in Damascus blames on foreign sponsors of terrorism.<\/p>\n
