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.
