Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov arrived in Ankara on Thursday for a two-day visit to discuss the Russian war on Ukraine, the Black Sea grain corridor, and Ankara's ties with Damascus and Yerevan.
Lavrov's arrival in Ankara to meet his Turkish counterpart, Mevlut Cavusoglu, takes place only days after talks between senior diplomats from Russia, Turkey, Syria and Iran in Moscow earlier this week. The Moscow gathering was organized as part of the Kremlin's efforts to help broker a rapprochement between the Turkish and Syrian governments.
