Hossein Jaberi Ansari, a senior assistant to the Iranian foreign minister, is in the Swiss city of Geneva to hold joint talks with his Russian and Turkish counterparts on the Syria peace process.

Iran’s top negotiator in the international peace talks on Syria arrived in Geneva on Monday, September 19.
