An armed conflict has continued in Syria since 2011. Negotiations in Nur-Sultan, known as the «Astana format» (after the former name of the capital of Kazakhstan), have been ongoing since 2017, and in January 2018, the congress of the Syrian national dialogue was held in Sochi, which became the first attempt since the beginning of the conflict to gather a wide range of list of participants.
