TEHRAN, Nov. 18 (Xinhua) -- Foreign ministers of Iran, Turkey and Russia will meet on Sunday to discuss and prepare the ground for an upcoming summit of presidents in Russia's Sochi, Tasnim news agency reported on Saturday.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, Russia's Sergei Lavrov and Turkey's Mevlut Cavusoglu will gather in the Turkish province of Antalya on Nov. 19, the report said.

The three ministers would reportedly discuss the latest developments in Syria and the outcome of several rounds of expert-level sessions, and finalize the agenda for the presidential meeting in Sochi on Nov. 22.

In the summit, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, Russia's President Vladimir Putin and President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan will review peace effort in Syria, which has been gripped by war since March 2011.

Iran, Russia and Turkey have so far held seven rounds of peace talks in Kazakhstan to help end the conflict in Syria.

The fourth round of those talks in May produced a memorandum of understanding on de-escalation zones in Syria, reducing armed conflicts in the country.
