Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Friday he wanted Iran and Egypt to take part in any future talks on Syria.
Lavrov was speaking in Vienna after a meeting between the United States, Russia, Turkey and Saudi Arabia which had been called to explore a political solution to the Syrian civil war.
"We requested that future contacts take place in a more representative format," Lavrov told reporters after the meeting, in comments broadcast on Russian state TV. He said that meant including Iran and Egypt in particular.
