ASTANA, Sept. 14 (Xinhua) -- Kazakhstan peacekeepers can go to Syria based on a decision by the United Nations (UN) Security Council, said the country's president here Thursday.
"If the UN decides to send such forces, then we, as the member of the organization, can send our military men there," Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev said.
Nazarbayev said that Syria managed to stop the war in some regions and created three de-escalation zones. According to the president, the conflict will not be resolved soon, but Kazakhstan will continue to make contributions to its peaceful settlement.
Negotiations on sending troops from Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan to Syria were held in June.
