ARK News... The Turkish presidency, on Tuesday, said that Iran's participation in the negotiation process between Ankara and Damascus, which is being mediated by Russia, will make it easier.

The Turkish presidency added that the date for the meeting of the foreign ministers of Turkey and the Syrian regime has not yet been set, but contacts are underway in this regard.

On Tuesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced that an agreement had been reached on Iran's participation in the Turkish normalization process with the Syrian regime sponsored by Moscow.

Lavrov said during a press conference after talks with Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shukri in the Russian capital, Moscow, that "an agreement has now been reached in principle on Iran's participation in this work."

Lavrov considered that it is logical for Russia and Iran to accompany more contacts to promote the normalization of Turkish relations with the Syrian regime. He added, "As for the timing and specific forms of participation, whether at the level of the army or at the level of diplomats, this is being worked on."
