ANKARA — Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu on Thursday tacitly acknowledged the difficulty of including Iran in high-level talks between the Turkish and Syrian governments.
Asked whether Iran played a destructive or constructive role, Cavusoglu chuckled and said he couldn’t describe Tehran’s role as destructive so far. “But of course it has been a Russian initiative. From now on, the contribution that Iran will make will be important,” he told Turkey’s private HaberTurk television in an exclusive interview.
