I thought this was interesting:

"Putin, Rouhani and Erdogan have backed Syria peace talks based in the Kazakh capital of Astana which they insist are aimed at reinforcing, rather than undermining, a parallel UN peace process in Geneva."

I don't think that bodes well. It's as if they're trying to give an air of legitimacy to Astana, which seems to have been touted as the future capital of the NWO, given their aspirations for a new Silk Road.
