Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan (pictured right) stated on Saturday that Ankara, Moscow, and Tehran will continue to hold regular talks on the situation in Syria, Russian media reported.
We [the leaders of the three countries] reached an agreement in order to put an end to the humanitarian crisis in Syria," stated the Turkish president. "We will hold negotiations every 15 or every 30 days. I hope that in the very near future the consequences of our decisions will be felt by people living in Syria," added Erdogan.
Earlier on Wednesday, Erdogan met with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in Sochi, Russia, where the three parties discussed and announced a significant success in their joint fight against terrorism in the war-struck country. The leaders stressed that the resolution of Syrian crisis reached a new stage, adding that the next step would be to hold the Congress of the National Dialogue of Syria. Iran's Rouhani called the Sochi talks " the right step at a right time" for Syria.
