国际英语资讯:Russia, Turkey, Iran pledge to enhance joint work on Syrian peace process

Echoing Putin's remarks, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said it would be "good news" for local population if the U.S. completely withdraws its troops from Syria and other countries in the region.

Therefore, he urged Washington to revise its Middle East policy, which is currently exerting negative influence on countries in the region.

"In the past 20 years, America has constantly played a destructive role in our region: in Afghanistan, in Iraq, in Syria, and today in Yemen...What we want or hope is that the U.S. will reconsider its policy towards the region," Rouhani said.

He also noted that several things need to be taken into account for the sake of achieving peace and stability in Syria, including no foreign intervention, the assistance of the international community and the fight against terrorism.

Speaking at the press conference, Turkish President Recep Erdogan reaffirmed the importance of resolving the situation in Idlib.

"We do not want new tragedies, new humanitarian crises in Syria, or in other regions, or in Idlib...We will continue to do everything possible to implement the Idlib memorandum," he said.

Erdogan stressed that Turkey will coordinate actions with Russia and Iran in the process of the U.S. troops pullout while taking into account of Syria's territorial integrity and eliminating the threats of terrorism, especially on the border areas.

According to Putin, the trilateral summit is expected to promote further productive work leading to the final restoration of peace and stability in Syria, and the three countries have agreed that the next round of such consultations will take place in Astana in the end of March or the beginning of April.
