ANKARA: Turkey remains strongly opposed to the participation of the Democratic Union Party (PYD), the main Syrian Kurdish grouping, in the opposition ranks at peace talks planned for this week, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said on Tuesday.
If the US-allied PYD, which is battling Daesh, is to join the talks aimed at resolving the five-year Syrian civil war, its place should be on the same side as Syrian President Bashar Assad, Davutoglu said in Parliament.
Meanwhile, multiple bombings targeted a government-run security checkpoint in the central Syrian city of Homs, killing at least 20 people and wounding over a hundred amid intense political jockeying ahead of the peace talks scheduled to begin in Geneva Friday.
With just three days to go, the opposition is still undecided about whether it will attend the talks, throwing diplomatic efforts into question.
