ANKARA (AA) - Turkish, Russian, and Syrian foreign ministers may meet early February, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Thursday, without giving a specific timeframe.

"There is no clear date yet, but we will hold this trio meeting as soon as possible. Maybe at the beginning of February," Cavusoglu told reporters in Rwanda.

Türkiye had date suggestions to Russia, Cavusoglu said, dismissing the reports that the minister will meet next week, saying: "This is not true."

On Dec. 28, defense ministers and intelligence chiefs of Türkiye, Russia, and the Syrian regime met in Moscow for talks. At the meeting, the top defense officials agreed to continue tripartite meetings to ensure stability in Syria and the wider region.

About a Libyan court's suspension of energy exploration deal that the Tripoli government signed last year with Türkiye, Cavusoglu said: "We immediately made contact with (head of the Tripoli-based government Abdul Hamid) Dbeibeh."

"This decision is not the final verdict," Cavusoglu said, stressing that the Libyan government stands behind Türkiye.

"... After all, this cooperation agreement is extremely important for them as the Libyan government and state. They said that they are behind this and will be following it closely," he added.
