Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi convened in Doha, Qatar, to discuss the escalating situation in Syria.
The meeting, which took place on the sidelines of the 22nd Doha Forum, was characterized as “constructive and extensive” by diplomatic sources.
The talks focused on the latest developments in Syria, where renewed violence has claimed numerous lives and displaced thousands.
The ministers also discussed potential solutions to the protracted conflict, which has ravaged the country for nearly 14 years.
The Astana Format, a trilateral mechanism involving Turkey, Iran, and Russia, aims to facilitate a peaceful resolution to the Syrian crisis.
The Doha meeting served as a precursor to the upcoming Astana Format Foreign Ministers’ Meeting, scheduled to take place later on Saturday.
As the international community continues to grapple with the complexities of the Syrian conflict, the meeting between Fidan and Araghchi underscores the commitment of Turkey and Iran to finding a lasting solution to the crisis.
