Turkey, Iran and Russia reaffirmed their commitment to Syria’s sovereignty and pledged to cooperate on defeating terrorism in the war-torn country, the trio said in a joint statement following their latest round of Syrian peace talks.
On Wednesday, representatives from the three countries gathered in Kazakhstan's capital, Nur-Sultan, for the 16th round of the Astana process talks sponsored by Moscow and Tehran, which back the Syrian government, and Ankara, which supports the opposition seeking to topple the regime.
