Syrian people await to hear good results of the trilateral summit on civil-war torn country among the leaders of Turkey, Russia and Iran, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Thursday.
"The Syrian people, who have been trying to survive under the shadow of weapons for the past eight years, are waiting to receive good news from us on a permanent political solution in Syria," Erdogan said at the fourth meeting of trilateral Syria summit in Russia's coastal city of Sochi.
Erdogan said Turkey has done its best for Syrian people since the start of war and provided $35 billion aid in every area.
"We have resolutely preserved the spirit of Astana [peace process] despite all problems, dissidence and even some provocations," he added.
With his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, Erdogan met to discuss the joint efforts, conducted on the ground and within the political process by the Astana platform to find a lasting solution to the Syrian conflict.
