Baku – APA. The U.S. said Wednesday that the Democratic Union Party (PYD) terrorist organization, the Syrian wing of the PKK, will not participate in Syria peace talks Friday in Geneva.
"The UN hasn't announced its list of invitees or those extended in an advisory role, but our understanding is that the PYD won't be participating in this week's talks," said State Department spokesman Mark Toner, Daily Sabah reported.
Toner's comments came after Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Tuesday that his country would not participate if the PYD were included in the peace talks.
