DUSHANBE, September 12. /ITAR-TASS/. Russia’s President Vladimir Putin will meet with Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani in Dushanbe on Friday. Russia’s presidential aide Yury Ushakov does not rule out that the leaders of the two countries will discuss the most sensitive issues, including, possibly, the military-technical cooperation.

Putin is now in the capital of Tajikistan, Dushanbe, where he participates in a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).

The leaders of Russia and Iran will meet for the second time this year, the Russian presidential aide said. The two leaders have had three telephone conversations, he added.

Will Iran forget about their religious counterparts in Iraqi and Syria? Maybe so, maybe not. Let the religious foes gain more power and control, ummmmm, no. Let the USA into their areas where Russia, China, Iran, and other countries (don't forget NSA) may know about, nope. Working together, ummmm, maybe yes, maybe no.
