ISTANBUL — A planned meeting of senior Turkish, Russian, Syrian and Iranian diplomats was reportedly postponed Thursday following a series of talks aimed at resetting in ties between Ankara and Damascus.
The deputy foreign ministers of the four countries most deeply involved in the Syrian civil war had been due to talk in Moscow on Wednesday and Thursday but the meeting was deferred to an unspecified date for technical reasons, according to Reuters.
