ISTANBUL —Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan arrived in Tehran to meet his Iranian and Russian counterparts as they face growing isolation over Iran’s nuclear ambitions and Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Erdogan met Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Tuesday ahead of the arrival of Russia’s President Vladimir Putin. The three-way meeting between Erdogan, Putin and Raisi is to focus on Syria, where the trio have been engaged in the Astana process since 2017 to pave the way for a cease-fire and political settlement.
