    ASTANA,— The issue of Kurdish participation in the UN-brokered Geneva talks on Syrian reconciliation will be agreed upon in February, UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura said Tuesday.
    “Regarding the [Kurdish] delegation, I hope you will allow” to solve this “delicate issue” in February, de Mistura told reporters following the intra-Syrian talks in Astana, answering a question on whether the Kurds would participate in Geneva talks.
    The Astana talks are expected to be followed by a UN-mediated meeting in Geneva on February 8.

    The U.S.-backed-Syrian Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD), the biggest political party in Syrian Kurdistan, has not invited to peace talks in Kazakhstan.
    Washington regards the Kurdish PYD and its powerful military wing YPG of Syrian Kurdistan as key ally against Islamic State and the most effective fighting force against IS in Syria and has provided them with arms, air support as well as the military advisers. The Kurdish militia has seized swathes of Syria from IS.
    The Kurdish YPG militia said on Monday it would not be bound by any decision that comes out of peace talks under way in Kazakhstan as it was not involved in the meetings.
    The U.S.-backed Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) opposition group, which was not invited to Astana talks, said will not adhere to any decisions reached during the intra-Syrian talks held in Astana, the SDF General Command said last week.
    “And we the components of SDF see that excluding Kurds from participating in the meeting as a part on the negotiations table is a violation of our right and sacrifices, so we would not abide by a congress’ decisions that we would not be invited to,” the general command said in a statement.
    The Syrian Democratic Federal Council in Syrian Kurdistan has said last week the peace talks in Astana will “fail” as Syrian Kurds are not being included in order to please Turkey.
    The council said the Kurds have been excluded from Geneva-1, Geneva-2 and Geneva-3 meetings in order to please the Turkish state.
    Syria talks brokered by Russia, Turkey and Iran and aimed at bolstering a shaky cease-fire in place since December 2016 opened on Monday in Kazakhstan without participation of U.S. and Syrian Kurds, marking the first face-to-face meeting between the Damascus government representatives and rebel factions trying to overthrow it.
    At the conclusion of the two-day conference on Syria’s nearly six-year war in Astana, Russia, Iran and Turkey said they will use their “influence” to strengthen the truce, without specifying how that would work.
    In 2013, Syrian Kurds have established three autonomous zones, or Cantons of Jazeera, Kobani and Afrin and a Kurdish government across Syrian Kurdistan (northern Syria) in 2013. On March 17, 2016 Syria’s Kurds declared a federal region in Syrian Kurdistan.
    Syrian Kurds on Dec. 30, 2016 have approved a blueprint for a system of federal government in Syrian Kurdistan, reaffirming their plans for autonomy in areas they have controlled during the civil war.
