Top diplomats of Egypt, Turkey and Iran met in Cairo to discuss the Syria civil war. Egypt’s official MENA’s news agency reported today that the ministers agreed to “hold their meeting in New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly later this month.”

Mohammed Kamel Amr, the Egyptian Foreign Minister said, “It is too early to say we have come up with any specifics,” referring to any solution or proposal to end the Syrian crisis.

The gathering of the “contact group” was an initiative started by the President of Egypt, Mohammed Morsi, who is seeking an active role in resolving the crisis in Syria. AV
