Today, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abd al Lahian is visiting the Turkish occupation state, where he will meet a number of officials to discuss the situation in Syria, as well as the recent negotiations between the defense ministers of Russia, Syria and Turkey.

Sources told Al-Arabiya Network that Abd al Lahian's visit comes as a continuation of what he started in Damascus after his meeting with President Bashar al-Assad and his foreign minister, Faisal al-Miqdad.

Al-Miqdad said after his meeting with his Iranian counterpart in Damascus: "It is not possible to talk about restoring normal relations with Turkey without removing the occupation".

Al-Miqdad added that any meeting between President Bashar al-Assad and the Turkish leadership depends on "removing the causes of conflict."
