From Tehran says Iran-Russia-Turkey talks will help stabilize Syria
Iran’s president says trilateral talks between Iran, Russia and Turkey will help stabilize Syria.
Hassan Rouhani, speaking after today’s talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, hailed the talks as “very useful.”
He says that the three leaders supported holding the so-called Congress of National Dialogue between Syrian factions in Sochi.
Even though Russia and Iran back Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government, and Turkey supports his foes, the three countries have teamed up to try and broker a peace settlement.
Today’s talks followed Assad’s surprise visit to Russia on Monday for talks with Putin that the Kremlin said were intended to help lay the groundwork for the trilateral meeting of Russia, Turkey and Iran.
