Two important international summits will take place tomorrow, with the first being about Syria and will bring Turkey, Russia and Iran together in Sochi for the fourth time under the Astana Process.
The first is about Syria and will bring Turkey, Russia and Iran together in Sochi for the fourth time under the Astana Process. The second one is about Iran and co-organized by the United States and Poland with a goal of lining up Washington’s allies in the Middle East against Iran.
Turkey’s position with regard to this summit is clear. It sees this meeting as against Iran and therefore has decided not to take part in it.
“Turkey’s political participation in such a meeting that targets one country is out of the question,” a senior Foreign Ministry official told the Hürriyet Daily News on Feb. 12. “We are therefore not dispatching any representative to this meeting. Our embassy in Warsaw will follow it.”
