During the transition process after the seven-year civil war in Syria, the Constitutional Committee, which will write the new constitution and take the country to the elections, was agreed by the three countries to be established as soon as possible.

Turkiye, Russia, and Iran have agreed to accelerate efforts to establish the Constitutional Committee in Syria in a coordinated manner with the special representative of the United Nations to Syria.

The Russian foreign minister noted "The effective nature of cooperation between three guarantor countries, which has helped significantly to reduce global violence, and to improve the humanitarian situation in Syria."

"As for the political process, [the diplomats] noted the importance of the soonest formation and coordination of the Syrian constitutional committee's representative composition, which would be acceptable to the Syrian sides and which would allow for the soonest launch of this institution in Geneva in accordance with the decisions of the Syrian National Dialogue Congress in Sochi and UN Security Council resolution 2254," the ministry informed.
