Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe leaders of Russia, Iran and Turkey are meeting in the Turkish capital for talks on Syria’s future.
The leaders are expected to reaffirm their commitment to Syria’s territorial integrity and the continuation of local ceasefires when they meet today.
The three countries have been working to try and resolve the conflict, which is now in its seventh year. Russia and Iran have provided crucial support to President Bashar Assad’s forces, while Turkey has backed the rebels seeking to overthrow him.
