敘利亞和談第一天沒有突破

Peace talks between the Syrian government and rebels groups continue Tuesday in Kazakhstan, after an opening day in which officials said there was no major breakthrough.

敘利亞政府與反政府力量星期二繼續在哈薩克斯坦進行和平談判。有關官員說，星期一的第一天談判沒有出現重大突破。

The officials said the talks in Astana, backed by Russia and Turkey, did not feature direct negotiations, but rather the two sides communicated indirectly through mediators.

有關官員說，雙方在阿斯塔納進行的談判中沒有直接對話，而是通過調停人員間接溝通。這次和談得到了俄羅斯和土耳其的支持。

The negotiations are focusing on cementing a nationwide cease-fire mediated by Russia, Iran and Turkey in December – a truce that has largely held.

談判的重點是鞏固由俄羅斯、伊朗和土耳其去年12月斡旋達成的全國停火，這次的停火基本上得到了遵守。

Prior Syrian peace talks, including the last negotiations a year ago, made little progress in bringing an end to the conflict that began in March 2011.

以往的和談，包括一年前的談判，對於結束這場2011年3月開始的衝突沒有多少進展。
