The presidents of Russia, Iran and Turkey held a trilateral virtual summit on Syria, which adopted a joint resolution. In it Vladimir Putin, Hassan Rouhani and Recep Tayyip Erdogan discussed the humanitarian and economic situation and security issues. In addition, the presidents said that the Israeli military attack violates the sovereignty of Syria and lead to increased tension in the region, and condemned the occupation of the Syrian Golan.”One of the main goals of today’s conference — to analyze the current state of Affairs in this country. To agree on what could be further done to ensure the long-term normalization in the Syrian Arab Republic. It is primarily about the continuation of the fight against international terrorism. And we need to consider what other measures are necessary to neutralize the remaining terrorist groups”,— said Mr. Putin.Introduced new sanctions against Syria, according to the President of the Russian Federation, lead to economic strangulation in the country, so he proposed to establish humanitarian assistance and to support the Syrian people “through appropriate channels”.The Iranian President has offered to hold a new full-time appointment in Tehran, “once when the time is right for that.” The US imposed sanctions against 39 individuals and legal entities in Syria, including President Bashar al-Assad and his wife ASMA. Now, restrictive measures may be imposed not only Syrians, but also all those who cooperate with them, as well as Russian and Iranian companies working in Syria. Special envoy of the UN Secretary General on Syria, Geir Pedersen, said that until recently more than 80% of Syrians lived below the poverty line, the situation has deteriorated. Almost half of the population of the country is experiencing food shortages. Before the format took place the fourth international donor conference on Syria, organized jointly by the EU and the UN. It was attended by 60 countries, including Russia, and 25 organizations. Total collected €6.9 billion (about $7.7 billion).
