Russian President Putin's special envoy to Syria Alexander Lavrentiev (L) speaks during the third session of Syria peace talks in Astana, Kazakhstan on March 15, 2017. Besides Turkey and Russia, Iran also agreed to stand a guarantor for the ceasefire.
The Syrian armed opposition said on Wednesday it had suspended its participation in the talks on settling the Syrian crisis being held in the Kazakh capital Astana, demanding an end to government bombardment of the areas under its control.
"The delegation has suspended its participation after presenting a memorandum for a total commitment to stopping (government) bombardments," said political opposition SNC spokesman Ahmad Ramadan.
