Ankara: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has called for efforts to preserve and build on the achievements of the Astana peace process for Syria. In a joint press conference with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Monday, Araghchi said the two sides agreed that foreign ministers of Iran, Turkyie, and Russia, as guarantors of the initiative, would meet soon to discuss the security situation in Syria. According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Araghchi stated that terrorist groups operating in Syria maintain close ties and coordination with the United States and the Israeli regime. He noted that terrorists have been recruited once again to create instability in Syria, divert attention from Israeli atrocities in Gaza and Lebanon, and to make up for its failures against resistance forces. The Iranian foreign minister further expressed that the resurgence of terrorism in Syria poses a serious threat to the security, stability, and territorial integrity of the country. He also warned that the repercuss ions of such a dangerous situation would affect all countries, particularly Syria's neighbors. 'We believe that ignoring the Zionist regime's role in creating unrest and conflict in the region and in regional countries is a mistake,' Araghchi emphasized. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan highlighted that achieving security in the region hinges upon peace in Palestine. He stressed that necessary steps must be taken to pressure the Israeli regime into accepting a permanent ceasefire. Fidan reiterated Turkyie's unwavering support for the territorial integrity and unity of Syria, stating, 'We will eliminate any threats to our national security and our people right at their source.' Araghchi's visit to Ankara followed his trip to Damascus, where he held discussions with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
