Russia and Turkey on Tuesday reiterated their commitment to existing agreements on Syria's Idlib which seek to reduce tensions in the region, the Russian Foreign Ministry said after a meeting in Moscow.

The ministry statement did not mention Turkey's demand for Syrian government forces to pull back from the region but said Idlib's long-term security could only be achieved through Syria's sovereignty and territorial independence.
