Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with President of the Republic of Turkiye Recep Tayyip Erdogan at the Turkish side’s initiative.
The presidents had an in-depth discussion of the quickly escalating tensions in Syria.
Vladimir Putin stressed the urgent need to stop radical groups’ terrorist aggression against the Syrian state and provide comprehensive assistance to the legitimate authorities’ efforts to restore stability and constitutional order across the country, including using Ankara’s capabilities in the region.
In this context, the two leaders spoke in favour of strengthening cooperation both bilaterally and within the framework of the Astana process. The key importance of further close coordination between Russia, Turkiye and Iran to normalise the situation in Syria was highlighted.
The two countries’ presidents will stay in touch to continue searching steps to de-escalate the crisis.
