He reiterated the fact that Iran, Russia and Turkey will continue their efforts to maintain peace and security in Syria.
He went on to say that diplomats will also discuss the possibility of holding summit between presidents of Iran, Russia and Turkey.
Lavrov evaluated as positive Pedersen’s efforts for establishing cooperation channels with Syrian government and opposition.
He noted that finalizing Syrian constitutional committee will be an important step in resolving the Syrian issue.
