Russia, Iran and Turkey sees US withdrawal from Syria as positive

Moscow, Ankara and Tehran see the planned United States withdrawal from Syria as a positive step, leaders of the three countries said after a summit  in Russia about the Syrian crisis. 

Russian President Vladimir Putin, one of the Syrian government’s closest allies, hosted the summit in the Black Sea resort of Sochi on Thursday to discuss the future of Syria with Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan and their Iranian counterpart Hassan Rouhani.

At a press briefing following the meeting, Putin said that the three leaders agreed that the US pullout from northeastern Syria “would be a positive step that would help stabilize the situation in this region, where ultimately the legitimate government should re-establish control”.
