ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AA) - Moscow and Ankara agree on a lot of key issues regarding Syria, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday.
"As far as Syria is concerned, there are a lot of issues on which we agree with Turkey. If we did not agree on the key issues, neither a cease-fire nor de-escalation zones could have been achieved, in Syria," Putin told reporters on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.
