Russia, Turkey, Iran Allied Against Terror Despite Plurality Of Goals - Lavrov

UNITED NATIONS (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 29th September, 2018) Russia, Turkey and Iran do not see completely eye to eye on Syria but they stand united in the fight against terrorism and preserving Syrian integrity, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Friday.

"Our goals do not coincide 100 percent - probably even less than that - with those of Iran and Turkey when it comes to Syria. But at this stage we are allies in the fight against terrorism and preserving Syrian integrity and helping the Syrian people in order to create conditions for an inter-Syrian political dialogue and let them determine their own fate. I think the Astana format of cooperation is very useful," he told reporters in New York.
