Anadolu, citing
sources, said the two countries have reached a consensus that
will be presented to participants in the conflict on expanding
the ceasefire that was established in Aleppo earlier this month.
A spokesman at Turkey's foreign ministry said he had no
immediate comment on the report.
Russia, Iran and Turkey said last week they were ready to help
broker a peace deal after holding talks in Moscow where they
adopted a declaration setting out the principles any agreement
should adhere to.
Arrangements for the talks, which would not include the United
States and be distinct from separate intermittent U.N.-brokered
negotiations, remain hazy, but Moscow has said they would take
place in Kazakhstan, a close ally.
Russia's foreign minister on Tuesday said the Syrian government
was consulting with the opposition ahead of possible peace
talks, while a Saudi-backed opposition group said it knew
nothing of the negotiations but supported a ceasefire.
