Russia Arranging Meeting between Assad, Erdogan: Diplomat

 

In comments on November 23, Lavrentyev said the possibility of a meeting between the Turkish and Syrian leaders always exists, adding, “We have always advocated and even considered the possibility of organizing such a meeting before, but I repeat that the Turkish side believes that conditions are not yet ripe for this at the moment.”

 

“Nevertheless, we believe that such a meeting would be useful and symbolic, and we will work further in this direction," he had noted.
