Those goals "were not achieved thanks to the serious discussions and opinions put forward by Iranian and Russian friends."On Tuesday, the Turkish president earned a rebuke for his push for the offensive from Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a bilateral meeting.
Mr Amir-Abdollahian noted that his country "will continue to negotiate and consult with the Turkish and Syrian sides" over Ankara's threatened offensive."It does not benefit Turkey or anyone other than Turkey to penetrate the Syrian borders and for there to be safe areas, because this will create another kind of conflict between Syria and Turkey," he said.
