		</div><p>Syrian rebel representatives and officials from Kazakhstan&#8217;s government have offered conflicting information as to whether Syria&#8217;s armed opposition groups would end their boycott and attend talks with the Syrian government in the Kazakh capital, Astana.</p>
<p>Russia&#8217;s Interfax news agency quoted Kazakh foreign ministry spokesman Onuar Zhainakov as saying that the talks had been extended and some rebel groups had agreed to take part. &#8220;We expect the arrival of representatives from the northern and southern fronts of the armed Syrian opposition,&#8221; Mr Zhainakov said, according to the Interfax report. However, two rebel officials immediately dismissed the report.</p>
<p>Mamoun Haj Mousa, from the Suqour al-Sham Brigade, said there are no plans for factions to attend the talks and another opposition official, Yahya al-Aridi, simply stated, &#8220;Let them say what they wish.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Astana talks, brokered by Russia and Turkey, are centred on reaching a ceasefire in Syria and getting humanitarian relief to millions of suffering civilians.</p>
<p>They run parallel to the UN-mediated political talks in Geneva aimed at ending Syria&#8217;s civil war.<br />
Rebels announced earlier this week they would not attend the Astana talks because of repeated ceasefire violations by the government.</p>
<p>A government delegation led by Syria&#8217;s UN ambassador, Bashar al-Jaafari, began meetings on Tuesday with Russian officials in Astana.</p>
