ERBIL (Kurdistan24) - On Friday, the Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in an official diplomatic visit arrived in Baghdad to discuss the recent developments in Syria with the Iraqi leaderships.
The Iranian’s Foreign Minister’s visit comes at a time when there are growing concerns that the escalation of conflicts and crises in Syria could spill over to Iraq.
The fear stems from the experience of the past decade when the armed groups, under the banner of ISIS, entered Iraq. This is what Iran says is its concern.
On Thursday, the Iraqi News Agency (INA) reported that the Iraqi Fuad Hussein, Bassam al-Sabbagh Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of Syria, and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi are scheduled to meet and discuss the unfolding events and situation in Syria.
This trilateral meeting follows the recent takeover of Aleppo and Hama by the armed anti-government groups. Homs is also being targeted and there are reports that the anti-government forces are advancing to Homs.
