Davutoglu: Moscow will host a four-way meeting on Syria on May 10

ARK News… Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu announced that the four-way ministerial meeting with Russia, Iran, and the Syrian regime will be held in the Russian capital, Moscow, on May 10, to discuss the Syrian file.

Cavusoglu said in a statement to a Turkish TV channel, on Friday, that the Russian government confirmed the date of the first meeting of its kind at the level of foreign ministers on May 10.

He added, "But it is not clear who will represent Tehran in the meeting. Another Iranian official may participate, if Foreign Minister Hussein Amir Abdollahian accompanies President Ibrahim Raisi on his African tour."

Regarding the Arab world's recent contact with the Syrian regime, Cavusoglu stressed that this is important in terms of allowing the Syrians to return to their country.

He added, "Most countries do not want to present a blank check for the return of the (Bashar) al-Assad regime to the Arab League as if nothing had happened."

He continued, "The countries want the regime to take a step with regard to the political process. This is the way to unify Syria, otherwise, the (BYG/PKK) terrorist organization will become stronger."

He continued: "The scene (in Syria) may become very complex and difficult in the future. We have engaged in dealing with the regime's government to see, perhaps we will hold a joint press conference at the end of the foreign ministers' meeting on the tenth of this month."

Cavusoglu added, "We cannot anticipate matters regarding what we will agree on in our (expected) meeting that day."

He added, "The Syrian administration must answer this question clearly. Does it still believe in a military solution or in the possibility of a political solution? There is no middle ground between them."

He stressed the impossibility of a military solution, adding, "If the administration takes a position in favor of a political solution, the possibility of finding a solution will increase, but if it refuses and decides to continue fighting everyone at all costs, the solution will take decades."

The Turkish foreign minister warned of "the danger of dividing Syria and the occurrence of a wave of migration due to the bad economic situation at home."
