Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Saturday that Syria must not be allowed to fall into the hands of a"terrorist group" as Islamist-led rebels advance on President Bashar al-Assad's seat of power.
The Russian minister was alluding to Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the Islamist group which has headed the assault and is rooted in the Syrian branch of Al-Qaeda. HTS has sought to soften its image in recent years but remains proscribed as a"terrorist organisation" by Western governments. The three countries have been partners since 2017 in the so-called Astana process seeking to end the civil war that has persisted in Syria since 2011.
On Saturday, a rebel commander said"our forces have begun the final phase of encircling the capital", but the defence ministry said"there is no truth to news claiming" the army has withdrawn from positions near Damascus. Ahead of the three-way talks, Araghchi said he had"very frank and direct" bilateral meetings with his Turkish counterpart and the ruler of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani.
