Sputnik News- According to reports, ongoing talks on Syria in Astana may result in the adoption of a document on creating four security zones in Syria.

Ongoing talks on�Syria in�Astana may result in�the adoption of�a document on�creating four security zones in�Syria, signed by�three ceasefire guarantor states, a source in�one of�the delegations told Sputnik.

"We expect a breakthrough. So far, this idea [of creating four zones of�de-escalation of�tensions] is accepted by�everyone. We hope this document will be signed, " the source said Wednesday.

"At the level of�guarantor states," the source said, referring to�Russia, Turkey and Iran, asked who would sign the document in�case of�its adoption.

On Monday, Fatih Hassoun, a representative of�the Syrian armed opposition told Sputnik, that Russia made proposals aimed at�creating zones of�de-escalation of�tension and at�respect of�the ceasefire regime. According to�the documents, obtained by�Sputnik, Russia proposed to�set up�four security zones�� in�Idlib province, to�the north of�the city of�Homs, in�Eastern Ghouta and in�the south of�the country.

In late January, US President Donald Trump announced the same kind of�initiative to�help refugees displaced by�the ongoing conflict in�Syria. The proposal was criticized by�the Syrian government, which stated that any attempt to�create the safe zones without�coordinating with�Damascus would be a violation of�Syria's sovereignty.

The new round�of the Astana talks, which brings together the sides to�the Syrian conflict�� Damascus and armed opposition, as�well as�three ceasefire mediator states�� Russia, Iran and Turkey, kicked off�on Wednesday, while a meeting at�the experts level took place on�Tuesday.

The first three rounds of�talks on�the Syrian settlement brokered by�Russia, Turkey and Iran, were held in�Kazakh capital of�Astana on�January 23-24, February 15-16 and March 14-15. During the talks, the participants agreed to�set up�a ceasefire monitoring group, among�other points.
