A three-way summit between the leaders of Iran, Russia and Turkey that is expected to decide the fate of Syria's last major rebel bastion Idlib opened in Tehran Friday.
Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in Tehran shortly after his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan for the summit hosted by Iran's Hassan Rouhani.
Erdogan has been trying to avert or at least limit an expected Russian- and Iranian-backed Syrian government offensive on Idlib that he fears will trigger a new flood of refugees across Turkey's southern border.
