ANKARA (Sputnik) - Turkey is ready to cooperate with Russia on the fight against terrorist groups in the Syrian northwestern province of Idlib, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said ahead of his upcoming talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"If
the situation in Idlib continues as is, the results will be heavy. We
have to find a solution with Russia and the coalition forces
without letting this happen. As you know, the US has a different
position, however, we have previously held meetings with Germany and
France. We are already in it together with Russia," Erdogan said
on Sunday, as quoted by Daily Sabah, a Turkish newspaper.
Erdogan stated that he had noticed Putin's positive approach
toward the resolution of the conflict during the trilateral summit held
between the leaders of Iran, Russia and Turkey in the Iranian capital
of Tehran on September 7.
"I hope he [Putin] will continue the positive
stance also going forward," Erdogan stressed, adding that he considered
it necessary to eliminate terrorists, but not the moderate opposition,
which is also operating in Idlib.
