Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov expressed hope that he will be able to meet with the Foreign Ministers of Turkey and Iran during the international conference to be held in Doha on Friday to discuss the issue of Syria.
"Astana format" is a useful association of participants.
We are quite concerned. After everything that happened in and around Aleppo, I spoke with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, as well as with my Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi.
We agreed to try to meet this week. I hope we will be able to meet in Doha, within the framework of the international conference," he said in an interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson.
Lavrov noted that they would like to discuss the need to return to the strict implementation of the Idlib agreements, as the Idlib de-escalation zone has become the place from which the terrorists moved to capture Aleppo.
