Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov said that the initial date of the upcoming round of Astana talks on Syria has been set for June 20, a week later than had been initially scheduled.
Bogdanov told reporters on Thursday that the date for the Astana meeting was pushed back following contacts with the other guarantor states of the de-escalation agreement, Turkey, Iran, and host Kazakhstan.
