“The problems of a political settlement of the Syrian crisis are touched,” RIA Novosti quoted the Kremlin’s press service as saying.

It is noted that during the negotiations the results of the videoconference of the heads of state-guarantors of the Astana process, which took place recently, were taken into account.

Earlier it became known that Russia supports the draft joint statement with Iran and Turkey, which reflects the approaches of the three states regarding further steps in the Syrian direction.
