Russia and Iran, with their elements fighting on the ground, are staunch supporters of the Syrian government in the seven-year-old war.
Arguing the U.S. position on Syria is in keeping with Israeli demands, Koni, who teaches at Istanbul Kultur University, said, "Nobody can dictate a solution against Israel's interests in Syria."
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday that it was not realistic to expect agreements to be concluded regarding Syria's future at the Istanbul summit.
"But this summit is an excellent platform for comparing notes, exchanging opinions and searching for possible areas of cooperation," he added.
"It may be safely argued that Russia, France and Germany have no big expectations for the summit," Dilek said, adding that all three countries see, like Turkey, the United Nations (UN)-led Geneva process as holding the most promise for a political settlement in Syria.
Ibrahim Kalin, Turkey's presidential spokesman, said on Friday that Ankara's primary aim at the summit would be to see what new solutions could be formulated based on the understanding that a political solution rather than a military one should be sought in Syria.
He expected President Erdogan would say at the summit that the Idlib deal should be kept and violations of the bargain, in particular by the Syrian army, should be prevented.
Based on the Ankara-Moscow deal, a demilitarized zone of 15 to 20 km deep in Idlib has been established between the Syrian troops and the rebels.
