Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called for the establishment of cooperation between Turkey, Russia, Iran and the United States to resolve the crisis in Syria.
"Russia has not determined its position on Syria yet. Our Foreign Ministers will work on this issue again. It is advisable to involve Iran and the United States. The settlement process should take place without Assad, but he can participate in the transition period," RIA Novosti cited him as saying.
However, the President criticized the United States, which supports the Syrian Democratic Union Party. According to the head of state, it is just as much a terrorist organization as Islamic State and the Kurdistan Workers' Party are.
