Moscow: Russia, Iran and Turkey to have meeting on Syria in Nur-Sultan

The Astana process guarantor nations, namely Russia, Iran and Turkey, will organize a high-level meeting on Syrian settlement in the Kazakh capital city Nur-Sultan soon, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Vershinin said.

"The practice of international high-level meetings on Syria in the Astana-format will be continued. The next such meeting will be held in the Kazakh capital in the near future," TASS cited him as saying.

The Russian diplomat called for a broad international support to Syria’s constitutional committee. "We believe that all of us must be very careful about this intra-Syrian dialogue that is to begin in Geneva in late October," he stressed.

Vershinin warned against "attempts to interfere into the intra-Syrian dialogue and impose scenarios that are incompatible with their cultural, religious and ethnic traditions."
