chief of staff of the armed forces and the intelligence boss came here to moscow and the assumption is that they were seeking essentially russian permission for the operation to begin we don't know how much permission was given by moscow but we assume that as this operation did begin in some capacity that the russians or at least have been you know they believe approving of it the russians are saying that they are basically against any kind of turkish sorry kurdish separatism and they have accused the americans of encouraging kurdish separatism so basically the russians at the moment are stuck in a slightly difficult position of wanting to give as much permission as they can to the turks keeping contacts with ankara about this not so upset seeing their delicate relations with the kurds and of course also men taining their firm alliance with the syrian government and that's not an easy task in the moment or not at all and elsewhere because this isn't of course the only thing that is happening in syria today the russians saying they are concerned about that turkish incursion into norther

standing by but first let's begin in moscow with rory chalons who's outside the foreign ministry what else did have to say today. well it was interesting listening to those comments that we've just heard from the surrogate for all because i think you know through the generation of the syrian civil war so far pretty much all of the countries that are involved in one way or another in the conflict have always said that they are holes the territorial integrity of syria and now of course what we've heard from the average just now and what we've heard from turkey. today suggests that those two countries are losing faith. the united states is being true to that sentiment now all of these countries have different attitudes to the various parties involved in the syrian conflict the united states has been working with the kurds in turkey of course as a big problem without russia somewhere in the middle works with the kurds where it sees some advantage but also i think has not gone as far as the united states and in bolstering kurdish military capabilities so what we're hearing i think from lav

it's seen that this opposition was fragmented with the various platforms the chiropractor from the moscow platform the truck for now they say that they have come together that they are speaking in one voice even though not everyone agrees on everything within themselves but they're here to show that and also i think for the opposition is very important because they do still believe that this u.n. sponsored talks if they ever happen are the only way forward they did say that they will not decide on whether they're going to go to sochi next week unless until the end of this round of talks is anyone expecting anything to come out of that probably not and that is something you would hear both sides you probably didn't hear directly from the mistura but at the end of the last round of negotiations he had said that there had been no talks whatsoever doing that round that lasted for two weeks the opposition is showing itself energetic between geneva eight engine even nine now they have been around the world they have been to do you and they have been to washington this book to congress they spok

these there are sunnis and shias allo whites and various different political platforms including the moscow platform the rest on a platform but there are a few notable exceptions now those are the s.n.c. the syrian negotiation committee which has said that it will stay away from sochi believing that this is undermining the geneva process the kurdish groups such as the y. p.g. then not here either they are considered persona non grata by turkey and of essentially being shut out i don't think they want to come anyway because of what's going on in africa and so this all basically steers towards the moscow and damascus perspective on the syrian conflict the upshot of this congress is likely to be the endorsement of the new what they're calling a constitutional committee made up supposedly all of the syrian government on one side and opposition representatives on the other but if the main groups of the opposition are not here then this allows damascus to essentially say that the opposition groups boycotting sochi boycotting this process are saboteur of peace the big question of course is where t
