“I welcome the joint statement and find it helpful in promoting the resumption of intra-Syrian talks in Geneva on 8th of February,” de Mistura told Sputnik on Wednesday, commenting on the statement issued by the sides following the talks in Moscow on Tuesday.
On Tuesday, foreign and defence ministers of Russia, Iran and Turkey met in Moscow to discuss the situation in Syria, including Aleppo.
