The two sides made the appeal during the Thursday talks between Iranian deputy foreign minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and his Russian counterpart Mikhail Bogdanov in Tehran.
They discussed ways to assist the Syrian parties begin a political process which could help end the violence in the country.
“In order to reach a peaceful way for solving Syrian crisis, and considering Tehran’s effective role in Middle East issues, we always welcome studying our Iranian counterparts’ viewpoints,” Bogdanov, who is also Russia’s special envoy to the Middle East, told Al-Alam after the talks.
He said the cooperation among Iran, Turkey and Egypt -- who formed a contact group along with Saudi Arabia to help settle the conflict in Syria -- could be very effective.
Iranian and Russian diplomats who had previously held another meeting in Moscow back in February, expressed hope for producing positive results.
Next round of talks are set to be held in Russian capital, Moscow in the near future.
