The deputy foreign ministers of Russia, Turkey, Syria and Iran are meeting in Moscow next week, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on March 8.
Speaking at a joint presser with his Iranian counterpart Hossein Amir-Abdollahian who paid a solidarity visit to Turkey after the February 6 earthquakes, Cavusoglu said that all sides are working to prepare a meeting between him and his Syrian counterpart Faisal Mekdad in a four-way format, but only if the upcoming meeting in Moscow makes progress.
Cavusoglu also said that his Iranian counterpart Hossein Amirabdollahian wanted to join the talks between Turkey, Syria and Russia, and Ankara happily agreed.
“Astana is the only surviving format (to address) Syria anyway. Now we are planning a meeting between the four foreign ministers,” the minister told a joint news conference with Amirabdollahian. “Russia offered to host a preliminary meeting for the preparations of this four-way meeting. This meeting will be held at the level of deputy ministers next week in Moscow.”
Earlier this month, Cavusoglu discussed the Turkish-Syrian normalization process with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov on the sidelines of the G20 foreign ministers meeting in New Delhi.
The talks between Ankara and Damascus, which are meant to normalize relations, gained momentum last December, when the defense ministers and intelligence chiefs of the two countries met in Moscow.
The Turkish-Syrian earthquake delayed the normalization process. However, both sides are clearly still determined to go on with the talks.
Ankara wants to address the security threat posed by Kurdish forces in northern and eastern Syria as well as a solution for its refugee problem. Meanwhile, Damascus is asking for a Turkish military withdrawal, even if a gradual one, from all Syrian territory. Both sides are also looking to resume trade.

Iran can’t escalate up the ladder or it will end up in annihilation of Iran in short order (nobody will give two fucks, you understand?). Iran needs to be careful or else it will become a humiliation. Not every Iranian supports the Islamic gubment, but when it comes to national security, we fucking unite and fight off the threat…….That’s where we stand!
Haha you wish, if that were the case they would’ve attacked Iran after Iran hit their bases with pin point accuracy
Iran will be attacked by Russia and Germany in the end time and be defeated.
And I will grow a 10’ long cock and fuck a donkey on that fateful moon lit night sky on the 13th of June 2067 as predicted by nostradumbass? You stupid fuck. What are you a cathodic middle easterner? You a camel jockey under a starry sky? Do you like to drink camel piss?
You don’t have cock but vagina.
Mazhabi kos khol…..believes in stupidity
Why don’t you admit it that you are impotent?
Nobody will attack Iran. Germany categorically never do that and even the US wouldn‘t be able to go through with it. The US army as of now is only capable of „clubbing baby seals“
Not US but Germany
Nobody died you know in those pin point strikes. You know right? We had to save face and that’s the best we could do under threat of a nuclear retaliation if the US chose to escalate it any further. The US controls the escalation paradigm. They decide where and how shit unfolds. You understand this, don’t you?
Sufyani is probably the Shishakli faction, a far-right faction of the SSNP. Shishakli hated both Ba’athists (Ashab) and Abqa (Muslim Brotherhood).
I’m asking the question from Majid at Al-Bress TV that what does Iran gain by entertaining these muzlim dalits in Turkey and Syria, but he is silent. I’m ashamed of him you know.
What is Press TV?
Al-Bress TV now. It’s almost like talibunny central and the quality of material put up there is seriously deplorable.
Talibans have the same level of retardation with you.

I don’t understand what you are saying
