> **Deputy foreign ministers from Russia, Turkey, Syria and Iran on Tuesday completed two days of talks in Moscow aimed at restoring ties between Ankara and Damascus,** in a step aimed at easing the international isolation of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

**Restoring ties and ending the American occupation..**

> **The four countries discussed preparations for a meeting between their top diplomats**, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on its website that gave no further details.

**Whoohooo! Preparations for top diplomats to meet- My thinking is that Erdogan will will the upcoming election and a settlement with Damascus with help with a bigger win still- Particularly if the refugee issue can be settled** **with Syrians returning to their home country.**

> **The diplomatic push, opposed by the US**, is part of broader efforts by Russia and China to challenge Washington in the Middle East. It comes after China demonstrated its new-found weight in the region by brokering a diplomatic detente between Iran and US ally Saudi Arabia. **The US has about 900 troops in Syria, a presence that Moscow and Damascus have long sought to end.**

**Turkey wants the PKK proxy army gone. As does Syria. Iran, too. This is the Adana Agreement**– **Covered repeatedly here and at my big tech censored blog as well** **in 2016.**
