A number Iranian MPs sitting on the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee are scheduled to pay a visit to Turkey in coming days to pursue the issue of Iranian nationals abducted in Syria in late August, MEHR NEWS reported.

Turkey holds sway over Syrian rebels.

The Iranian delegation plans to meet with a number of high-ranking Turkish officials and hold talks on the ways to obtain the release of the Iranian abductees.

The Iranian nationals were abducted by the Syrian rebel al-Baraa Brigade, which is affiliated with the self-proclaimed Free Syrian Army, on August 4 and have been threatened with death.
