hold a joint meeting to address situation in Syria.
Konstantin Kasachov, chairman of the Russian Duma’s International affairs is to

The Astana talks, started in 2017, are an initiative of Iran, Russia and Turkey
meant to sort out the eight years of war in Syria through trilateral

conflict.
Syria future after US withdrawal, establishing constitution committee,
discussing the latest developments in northern Syria, ending humanitarian aids
to Syrians were among the most important topics discussed during the 4th round
of Sochi meeting between Iran, Russia and Turkey.
Earlier, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says strong campaign against
terrorism and stabilization of security in Syria are the joint objective of
Iran, Turkey and Russia.
He added the fourth summit was within framework of Astana process and the
common goal of Iran, Russia and Turkey is stern campaign against terrorism,
restoration of stability and security to Syria, compilation of new constitution
and consolidation of a democratic government in the country, return of refugees
and reconstruction of Syria.
