Kremlin: Russian-Turkish-Iranian summit to be held in Tehran

The summit between the Russian, Turkish and Iranian presidents, scheduled for September 7 in Iran, will be held in Tehran, not Tabriz, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

Earlier reports said that the trilateral summit could take place in the Iranian city of Tabriz on September 7. "Iran has informed us that they were back to the Tehran option so the trilateral meeting is going to be held in Tehran," TASS cited him as saying.

Peskov also confirmed Ankara’s statements that Russian leader Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan would hold a separate meeting on the sidelines of the summit. When asked what issues Putin and Erdogan would discuss, Peskov said they would be the "usual" ones.
