Iran, Russia, Turkey Presidents Committed to Progress in Syria

Iran, Russia and Turkey see the planned US withdrawal from Syria as a positive step and are committed to taking further steps to help improve the political and humanitarian situation in the war-torn Arab state, leaders of the three countries said on Thursday after a summit on Syria.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, one of the Damascus government’s closest allies, hosted the meeting in the Black Sea resort of Sochi to weigh the future of Syria with Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey.

“The US decision on the withdrawal of its forces from Syria, if implemented, would be a step that would help strengthen stability and security in the country,” the presidents said in a joint statement published in English by IRNA.
