Iran, Turkey, Russia FMs to meet in Moscow
By Trend
Iranian, Turkish and Russian top diplomats are expected to meet
on December 20 in Moscow to discuss the latest developments in
Syria.
The spokesperson of the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Bahram Qasemi,
has said that the foreign ministers of Iran, Russia and Turkey,
Mohammad Javad Zarif, Sergey Lavrov and Mevlut Cavusoglu are
scheduled to meet on Tuesday, Trend's correspondent reported.
A plan for evacuation of the sick and injured from two
government-held villages in Syria's Idlib province as well as
evacuation of the last rebel-held enclaves in Aleppo City has
stalled over the past several days.
On 18 December, the rebels reportedly set fire to several buses
sent to transport the sick and injured from the two government-held
villages of Foah and Kefraya in Idlib province.
Media reports suggest that the attack on the busses halted the
latest efforts to evacuate the besieged areas.
Syrian army backed by Russian air strikes alongside with other allies has recently launched a massive assault to recapture the militant-held areas of the northern city of Aleppo.
Rebels took control of eastern parts of Aleppo in 2012. The latest media reports suggest that Syrian army has advanced through the rebel-held areas, though the rebels reportedly continued to resist in some parts of the city.
