Erdogan announces chiefs of General Staffs meeting

The chiefs of Russian, Turkish and Iranian general staff will come together on the eve of the presidential meeting on the Syrian settlement,Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said, adding that a day before the foreign ministers of the three countries will also hold preparatory talk.

According to the Turkish President, the sides will discuss the military aspect of recent developments in Afrin and Idlib.

"As you know, this issue of the establishment of 12 observation spots is a sensitive one. On these spots, we show flexibility toward the demands of Russia and even of Iran," he told reporters on board his return flight from Qatar.

"But we don’t take into account Iran’s demands on Afrin. Because Russia made us promises about withdrawal from Afrin at the G20 Summit in Hamburg,” Hurriyet Daily cited Erdogan as saying.
