Contacts in a quadrilateral format between the intelligence services of the Russian Federation, Turkey, Syria and Iran continue today. In this respect RIA News said Alexander Lavrentyev, the Russian President’s special representative for Syria.
The agency’s interlocutor said, “Yes, they continue.”
He pointed out that in an environment where tensions are increasing in the Middle East, it is too early to say that future negotiations can be held between the heads of the Defense Ministries of the four countries.
“In the development of the situation directly around Idlib, in the region beyond the Euphrates and on the Israeli-Syrian and Israeli-Lebanese borders, everything will depend on the emerging facts,” Lavrentiev said.
Also Alexander Lavrentiev guess US military withdrawal from Syria. According to him, the withdrawal of American troops from Iraq should undoubtedly lead the United States to make a similar decision regarding Syria. Lavrentiev did not rule out that the American leadership will try to delay the withdrawal of US military forces from Iraq as much as possible.
