ANKARA. Sept 17 (Interfax) - The members of the Syrian Constitutional Committee must not be influenced by external forces and they must work voluntarily, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.
"Under no circumstances must the participants of this process, in other words, Syrians themselves, the members of the Constitutional Committee, be tied hand and foot by external forces," he said at a press conference following the summit in the Astana format.
"The conditions must be created so that they work voluntarily and creatively and aspire to achieve a positive result," Putin said.
