Putin hopes Geneva-2 to be called as quickly as possible

Russian President Vladimir Putin said he hoped that the Geneva-2 conference on the crisis in Syria would be held as quickly as possible, according to Voice of Russia.

“Russia has taken the obligation to convince the Syrian authorities [on the necessity to hold the conference] and we have completed our share of work, now it is the turn of our partners, who should convince the “opposition” of the same,” Putin said following talks with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Erdogan.

Vladimir Putin has said that in spite of disagreements on the situation in Syria between Russia and Turkey, the parties will continue trying to reach a compromise.

 “Our approaches may differ but it won’t hinder our joint efforts in seeking ways for solving the most serious international problems,” Putin stated following a Russia-Turkey meeting.
