Putin, Erdogan agree new measures needed to ease Syria tensions - Kremlin
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan agreed during a phone call on Friday on the need for new measures to be put in place to ease tensions and normalise the situation in northwest Syria, the Kremlin said.
In a readout of the phone call, the Kremlin said Putin and Erdogan agreed to organise a top-level meeting to address the situation in Syria's Idlib province that the presidents said was a matter of "serious concern".
The call followed the killing of 33 Turkish soldiers in a strike by Syrian government forces in Syria's northwestern Idlib region on Thursday.
