ANKARA, August 4. /TASS/. Turkey considers Russia a partner in finding a way out of the Syrian crisis, Ibrahim Kalin, a spokesman for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, told TASS on Thursday.
"We have always sought opportunities for cooperation with Russia on the issue," he said. "We want to look into the future with hope and would like to ensure the political transition in Syria at an early date in cooperation with Russia." Kalin recalled that Turkey and Russia "held summit meetings in Sochi and then in Moscow in September 2015 for the sake of stability in Syria." "Thanks to this we paved the way for creating the International Syria Support Group," he said.
