The joint statement said that Russia, Iran and Turkey reject all unilateral sanctions against Damascus. The parties remain committed to the sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity of the country. It is noted that the Syrian conflict has no military solution, it “can be resolved only in the course of a political process led and carried out by the Syrians themselves with the assistance of the UN in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 2254.” At the same time, the presidents intend to continue to eliminate terrorists in Syria.
Separately, the parties condemned Israeli military attacks on civilian targets in Syria. The statement says that this violates international law and the territorial integrity of Syria and increases tension in the region.
