(MENAFN- Trend News Agency ) Tehran, Iran, November 18
By Mehdi Sepahvand –- Trend:
Ongoing periodical talks between Iran, Russia, and Turkey over the political developments of Syria can lead to a democratic procedure for the future of the Arab country, a former Iranian parliamentarian believes.
'The talks have proven fruitful. Iran and Russia, and lately Turkey, have offered great help, and these meetings can become the defining factor for the future security of the region,' Mansour Haqiqatpour told Trend November 18.
The ex-parliamentarian expressed hope that the people of Syria would be able to genuinely take part in deciding over their fate, noting that help from friendly countries can be effective in preventing the repetition of the bitter experience of recent years.
Masoud Jazayeri, the second in command of Iran's General Staff of Armed Forces, recently said in an exclusive interview with Trend that the IS is witnessing its final days of life.
Iran, Russia, and Turkey support the preservation of Bashar Assad as president at least for as long as elections are held and a new government is formed.
The foreign ministers of the three powers are scheduled to meet in Turkey in the coming days to share their views on the latest political developments in Syria.
Their meeting will be followed by a similar gathering of the heads of state of the three countries in Russia a few days later where to make joint policies over the Syrian crisis.
