After new clashes between Kurdish separatists and Syrian army in town of Hasake that followed Turkey's condemnation, now this visit.
Syrian air force was able for the first time after years to fly over its northern territory and bombard kurdish separatists forces. That area had become a no fly zone by Turkey and US.
I think next is Turkish air force and armies operations in north Syria in coordination with Russia-Iran-Syria alliance. This back to back meetings are probably getting all sides ready for Turkey's new role in Syria.

ANKARA, TURKEY —
Turkey's foreign minister says he has made a surprise visit to Iran just days after the two countries agreed to greater cooperation on Syria despite their differences.
Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu told Turkish state media on Friday that he stopped in Tehran on his way to India on Thursday.
The Turkish and Iranian foreign ministers met in Ankara last week and said they would cooperate more on finding a lasting solution to the crisis in Syria.
Turkey and Iran have held opposing positions on Syria, with Iran backing the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and Turkey advocating for Assad's departure.
State-run Anadolu Agency quoted Cavusoglu as saying: “We have to increase our efforts. The [Syria] problem grows deeper and more insolvable with time.”
