Diplomatic efforts intensified on Saturday as Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov held separate phone conversations with his Turkish and Iranian counterparts to address the escalating violence in Syria's provinces of Aleppo and Idlib, as reported by RIA Novosti.

The talks come in light of growing regional concern over renewed terrorist activity in these areas.

Russian-Turkish Discussions

Lavrov and Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan expressed shared alarm at the dangerous developments in Syria. 

According to a statement from the Russian Foreign Ministry, both diplomats conceded the urgent need for coordinated action to stabilize the situation, and reaffirmed the role of the Astana process as the primary framework for dialogue and conflict resolution.

Russia and Iran Strengthen Coordination

In a separate conversation, Lavrov and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reaffirmed their commitment to Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. They condemned the recent surge in terrorist activity in Aleppo and Idlib, which Araghchi attributed to US-Israeli plans to destabilize the region.

The two ministers called for a comprehensive review of the situation within the Astana framework and pledged to intensify joint efforts to counteract the rise in militant activity.

The Russian Foreign Ministry noted that both sides are committed to addressing the security threats posed by terrorist groups and ensuring long-term stability in Syria.

Rising Violence in Aleppo and Idlib

The renewed violence in Syria comes after a series of terrorist attacks by armed groups in Aleppo and Idlib, prompting widespread international concern.

Both regions remain flashpoints in the war on Syria, with Idlib serving as the last major stronghold for opposition and extremist factions.

The escalation threatens to derail ongoing peace efforts and exacerbate the humanitarian crisis in the war-torn country.
