ANKARA (AA) – Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin agreed Thursday to intensify their efforts to convince the warring parties in Syria to achieve a cease-fire in the city of Aleppo.
On the phone on Thursday, the two leaders discussed Turkish-Russia bilateral relations as well as the latest developments in Syria, said presidential sources, speaking on condition of anonymity due to restrictions of speaking to the media.
