"Russia is ready to take part in such tri-partite groups," Mikhail Bogdanov, also the Russian deputy foreign minister, said during a visit in Egypt along with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
During a visit to Iran, Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan had offered to establish a three-member group to boost dialogue over a solution to the Syria crisis.
He had said that group's alternative settings could include Turkey with two other members from among Russia, Egypt, Iran and Saudi Arabia.
