The Jeddah summit, held over the weekend in Saudi Arabia, was signed with amorphous declarations regarding a renewed nuclear deal and an increase in oil supplies. In the face of the cold welcome to US President Biden, the Saudi Crown Prince warmly welcomed the Prime Minister of Iraq, Egyptian President al-Sisi and Jordanian King Abdullah, expressing the Gulf states’ suspicion of the Washington administration and US capabilities.
A parallel summit will open tomorrow in Tehran with the participation of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Turkish President Erdogan and host Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi that will emphasize Russia’s position in the region. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan left for Tehran today, and he is expected to meet before the tripartite summit with Ibrahim Raisi at the Turkish-Iranian Cooperation Council forum.
A statement from the Turkish president’s communications department said Erdogan would pay a two-day visit to Iran at the invitation of Ibrahim Raisi, with a joint meeting of the council on Tuesday attended by relevant ministers from the two countries to discuss bilateral and bilateral relations. It was also reported that apart from the bilateral relations, Erdogan and Raisi are supposed to discuss regional and international issues of common interest. In addition, on Tuesday, a three-way meeting will be held in Tehran with Russian President Putin, as part of the “Astana Forum” which deals with solving the problems in Syria.
The Turks said the tripartite summit would discuss the fight against terrorist organizations that pose a threat to the security of the region, led by the Kurdish organizations “YPG / PKK” and “ISIS”, and efforts related to a political solution in Syria. The tripartite summit will also discuss the humanitarian situation in Syria and the voluntary return of Syrian refugees. “The tripartite summit, led by Tehran, will deal with developments in Syria, and the fighting organizations that threaten the security of the region. Ways to achieve a political solution in the country, the humanitarian situation and the return of the Syrians will also be discussed,” the statement said.
The Turkish presidency updated on a meeting between Erdogan and Putin in Tehran “President Erdogan will meet, on the sidelines of the summit, with his Russian counterpart Putin in a bilateral meeting,” the statement said without elaborating. It is estimated that the two will also talk about the war in Ukraine and the fact that the Ukrainians are using Turkish weapons against the Russian army.
In the face of the United States’ apparent weakness expressed in a variety of Arabic articles following Biden’s visit to the region, the meeting in Tehran highlights Russia’s strong regional status and the alliances it makes with regional states. Powerful as the one who runs the affairs of the Middle East.
