    MOSCOW,— Syrian Kurds do not expect any breakthrough from the intra-Syrian talks in Astana, chairman of the Kobani provincial government of Syrian Kurdistan, Anwar Muslim, told Sputnik on Tuesday, saying that a holding ceasefire in Syria was already a good sign.
    “We do not expect much from Astana [talks]. First, the Kurds are not invited to these negotiations, despite the fact that we control a large area of Syria and successfully fight Daesh [Islamic State]. The group that sits [during talks] at one [table] with the [official] regime are bandits. They were killing people. So, we do not expect much from these talks. For these groups it is important to defend their own interests and continue to control their territories,” Muslim said.
    At the same time, he acknowledged that the ceasefire in Syria was generally being respected. “There are no clashes, we are at war only with Daesh,” he added.

    The first round of the Astana talks on Syrian reconciliation took place on January 23-24. As a result, Russia, Turkey and Iran agreed to establish a trilateral mechanism to monitor the ceasefire regime in Syria. The next round of Astana talks is planned for February 15-16.
    Earlier in the day, UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura’s spokeswoman Yara Sharif confirmed that the UN-brokered intra-Syrian negotiations in Geneva would begin on February 23.
    The Syrian Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) was not invited to all previous peace talks on Syria include Astana talks in order to please Turkey, Kurds say.
    U.S 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.
    Syrian Kurdistan’s ruling PYD has established three autonomous zones, or Cantons of Jazeera, Kobani and Afrin and a Kurdish government across Syrian Kurdistan 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.
