Russia, Iran, and Turkey have issued a joint statement following the 22nd international meeting on Syria in the Astana format.
The document highlights several key points:
The three nations condemned the ongoing mass killings by Israel in Gaza and Israel's aggressive actions in Lebanon and the West Bank. They also denounced Israel's actions in Syria, stating they violate international law.
The parties expressed strong disapproval of the ongoing illegal seizure and transfer of oil and other resources that rightfully belong to Syria. They also acknowledged the negative impact of escalating violence in the Middle East on the situation in Syria.
The sides agreed to make further efforts to ensure the sustainable stabilization of the situation in and around the Idlib de-escalation zone, addressing humanitarian conditions as part of this commitment.
They called on the UNHCR, various agencies, and humanitarian organizations to develop emergency response measures for those displaced from Lebanon to Syria following the escalation of hostilities in Lebanon.
Additionally, Russia, Iran, and Turkey agreed to hold a high-level meeting on Syria in the Astana format in Russia, along with the 23rd meeting in Astana in the first half of 2025.
