Iranian FM presents report to Erdoğan about meeting with Assad
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday (April 17) met with Iranian regime’s Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, who arrived in Ankara to brief him on his meeting with Bashar Assad.
Erdogan received Zarif at the presidential complex where they had a closed-door meeting lasting over an hour.
Zarif said earlier Wednesday in a joint news conference following bilateral talks with his Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu that he would submit a report to President Erdogan about his "long meeting" with Assad.
"I had a long meeting with Bashar al-Assad. I will be giving details of these discussions to Mr. Erdogan," he said.
"In Syria, from the start, on the ground, we do not agree with Iran on many issues," Foreign Minister Cavusoglu said on Wednesday. "But we have decided to cooperate with Iran for a political solution."
Kazakhstan will host a fresh round of talks on Syria on April 25-26 in its capital, recently renamed from Astana to Nur-Sultan.
