Recep Tayyip Erdogan will Visit Tehran to form Turkey-Iran-Russia Coalition

Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan is getting ready to pay a high-profile trip to Tehran on next week. Thus move is  seen by mainstream Arab media as the official launchpad for forming ting the Turkey-Iran-Russia coalition on Syria.

Earliery Erdogan made a visit to Russia after the recent  failed coup in Turkey to meet and hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Saint Petersburg. Their talks were mainly focused on finding a way to end the war in Syria while both countries have set up a joint commission to implement the results of their talks.

More background from Katehon:

Turkey's turn toward Russia was delineated before the US-backed coup attempt. The resignation of the ideologue of the Neo-Ottomanist Ahmet Davutoglu, as leader of the ruling "Justice and Development Party" (AKP) and prime-minister until May of 2016, and his replacement by the pragmatist Binali Yildirim, has been indicative of this course. However, the US interference in the internal affairs of Turkey, and support to the organizers of the coup by Washington, made an about-face of Ankara to Eurasia practically irreversible.

Iranian experts believe that the emerging likelihood of an Erdogan visit will finally resolve their differences, and will create an effective coalition that will be able to proceed to the matter of de-escalating the war in Syria, and marginalize the destructive forces represented by the West and the Gulf states. The tripartite coalition will be created by Russia, Iran, and Turkey and will occupy a leading position in the region.
