President Putin to meet Erdogan and Raisi in Tehran to discuss Syria

MOSCOW, 13 July 2022, (TON): “Russian President Vladimir Putin will visit Iran next week” the Kremlin said a day after the US warned that Tehran could provide Moscow with drones for its action in Ukraine.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said “during a trip to Tehran next Tuesday, Putin will attend a trilateral meeting with the leaders of Iran and Turkey, the so-called Astana format of meetings for Syria-related talks.”

Peskov said “on the visit to Tehran, Putin will also have a separate meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.”

In March, Erdogan helped mediate talks between Russian and Ukrainian representatives in Istanbul, Turkey.

The White House said on Monday that it believes that Russia is turning to Iran to provide it with hundreds of drones, including those capable of carrying weapons, for use in Ukraine.
