MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Kremlin on Wednesday hailed Syria peace talks held in Kazakhstan as a success and said more might be held in future if there was a need.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a conference call with reporters he thought the talks might help give impetus to troubled U.N.-brokered negotiations in Geneva.
