Iran, Russia, and Türkiye have renewed their call for a political solution to Syria’s ongoing crisis during high-level talks in Doha, Qatar. The discussions, held under the Astana peace process, focused on safeguarding Syria’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and stability.
The meeting underscored the importance of international collaboration in supporting Syrian-led peace efforts while opposing foreign interference. Key topics included the return of refugees, economic recovery in conflict-affected regions, and strengthening counterterrorism initiatives to address threats from extremist groups.
The three nations reaffirmed their support for United Nations Security Council Resolution 2254, which outlines steps for peace in Syria, including constitutional reforms and democratic elections.
Participants highlighted the urgent need to address the humanitarian crisis and rebuild trust among conflicting parties. While the talks represent progress in reigniting dialogue, significant challenges remain due to ongoing regional and international tensions.
Observers see this diplomatic effort as a step toward breaking the stalemate in the Syrian conflict. However, achieving lasting peace will require sustained dialogue and a united commitment from the global community to address the complex realities on the ground.
This renewed push reflects the critical need for collective action to restore stability and secure a peaceful future for Syria.
