Turkey hopes to find solution on Syria's Idlib with Russia

ANKARA, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Tuesday that he hoped to find a solution over Syria's Idlib region during a meeting with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov.

Cavusoglu made the comment during a joint news conference in Ankara.

The Idlib region in northern Syria is the largest remaining Syrian rebel-held enclave.
