Turkish FM meets Iranian counterpart in New York

Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu and his Iranian counterpart, Javad Zarif, conducted a meeting yesterday to discuss regional concerns related to both countries, including the Syrian conflict.

The ministers took a long walk by New York’s East River, separate from officials at the U.N. General Assembly, to discuss the ongoing civil war in Syria and the upcoming P5+1 meeting with Iran.

Davutoğlu invited Zarif to further discuss ways of pursuing more efficient cooperation between countries.

Davutoğlu also met with the U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Monday on the sidelines of United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York.

The two discussed the ongoing crisis in Syria, as well as other developments in the Middle East and the ongoing changes in the region, in a meeting that lasted longer than scheduled, according to diplomatic sources.
