The Turkish president on Thursday said after an upcoming foreign ministers meeting, the leaders of Russia, Turkey, and Syria may also meet to discuss peace and stability in Syria, depending on developments.
"Depending on the developments, we may come together as the Russian, Turkish, and Syrian leaders. So, our aim is to establish peace and stability in the region," Recep Tayyip Erdogan said, addressing his Justice and Development (AK) Party's extended provincial heads meeting in the capital Ankara.
Turkish, Russian, and Syrian defense ministers and intelligence chiefs came together in Moscow, he said, adding that "hopefully, the foreign ministers will come together in a trilateral format."
Erdogan also indicated that the date of Turkey's mid-2023 presidential and parliamentary elections may be brought forward from the scheduled June 18.
