Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed preparations for Syria talks in Astana with his Kazakh counterpart Nursultan Nazarbayev by phone on Thursday, the Kremlin said in a statement.
Turkey and Russia are guarantors of a peace plan that involves a ceasefire as well as a return to the political process between the warring sides after nearly six years of fighting.
It also calls a meeting between the parties in Astana, Kazakhstan -- which recently became a UNSC member -- ahead of a revival of the Geneva talks on Feb. 8.
