A recently formed secular Kurdish-Arab alliance demanded on Sunday that the United Nations give it a seat at the table in upcoming Syria peace talks in Geneva.

"For us, it is very important that all components of the Syrian opposition have equal rights to participate in the future negotiations," said Haytham Mannaa, the co-head of the Syrian Democratic Council (SDC).

"We are ready to participate in any negotiation under the umbrella of [UN special envoy for Syria] Staffan De Mistura," he told AFP, as the organisation ended a two-day meeting in Geneva.

His comments came amid speculation over whether the new alliance would receive a seat at the table in the new round of UN-hosted Syria peace talks in Geneva set to start on 25 January.
