'CHANGE' - Syria seeks increased anti-terror cooperation with Russia, Iran. (xinhuanet).
Syria's Defense Minister Fahd al-Freij has started a two-day visit to Iran to enhance cooperation in the fight against terrorism, state news agency SANA reported Tuesday.
Leading a military delegation, the Syrian army chief will have talks with his Iranian counterpart, Col. Hussain Dahqan, and other senior military officials to discuss ways of cooperation to face the threats of terrorism and other regional challenges, according to the report.
The visit comes a day after Syrian Interior Minister Mohammad al-Shaar and his Russian counterpart, Gen. Vladimir Kolokoltsev, signed in Moscow a cooperation agreement on countering terrorism.
The agreement provides a new legal springboard to further bolster bilateral ties, Kolokoltsev said.
For his part, al-Shaar said the deal sets new mechanisms to counter and eliminate terrorism, adding that the cooperation to counter terrorism and extremism is a top priority for the two countries. Hmmm......Me think the 'Love' between Turkey and Iran is cooling down quickly, now that the sanctions are about to evaporate. Read the full story here.
