SOCHI. Sept 17 (Interfax) - Further consultations with the Syrian leadership over the resolution of the country's crisis will be held in the very near future, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.
"In our view, the practical realization of the planned steps will give an extra boost to the political settlement of the Syrian conflict, step up the efforts in Geneva, and help bring peace back to the Syrian land," Putin said at a press conference after meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Earlier at the conference, he listed the steps he and Erdogan had agreed on for Syria.
"Overall, this approach is favored by the Syrian leadership. We will hold additional consultations with the Syrian leadership very soon," Putin said.
