The sources, who requested anonymity, confirmed in a statement to DPA German news agency that "Lavrov's visit will focus on combating terrorism and discussing the Syrian leadership about the results of the work of the Constitutional Committee, as well as discussing the file of the eastern Euphrates regions."

The last visit of the Russian foreign minister to Syria was in early February 2012.

Lavrov had met a few days ago with a delegation from the Syrian Democratic Council, after the latter signed a memorandum of understanding with the Popular Will Party on a political solution.
