In a phone call with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Russian President Vladimir Putin emphasized the need to quickly conclude the jihadist-led attacks in Syria. The Kremlin highlighted the importance of supporting legitimate authorities in restoring stability and called for continued coordination among Russia, Turkey, and Iran to alleviate the crisis.
