Erdogan to visit Russia for trilateral summit on Syria

The president will visit Russia’s Black Sea resort city of Sochi and meet his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin for the sixth time this year.

The summit will focus on the developments and latest situation in Syria, and will aim to come up with a political solution to the crisis, reports said.

Erdogan was in Russia on November 13 to discuss the Astana process.

Turkey had objected the invitation of PKK terrorist group’s Syrian offshoot the Democratic Union Party (PYD) and its armed People’s Protection Units (YPG) to the Russian-sponsored Congress of the Syrian National Dialogue.
