Steps to resolve the Syrian war crisis were discussed in between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish counterpart Tayyip Erdogan in Sochi yesterday, Nov 13.
After more than a four hour talk the two leaders had agreed to focus on a political solution to the conflict.
“Russia would continue to work on Syria with Turkey and their efforts were yielding results,” said Putin.
Putin and Trump said in a joint statement on Saturday (Nov 11) they would continue to fight against Islamic state in Syria, while agreeing that there was no military solution to the country’s wider, six-year-old conflict.
Turkish President took swipes at both U.S. and Russian interventions in Syria on Monday before flying to meet Putin in Sochi and said if countries truly believed a military solution was impossible, they should withdraw their troops.
