MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The Kremlin found out about about Turkey's proposal regarding the Incirlik airbase through the media and Moscow will need to analyze this "important statement," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov also said Monday.
"I didn't say that, I was referring to renewed cooperation with Russia on Syria," Cavusoglu said as quoted by CNN Turk, clarifying his earlier statements.
The airbase currently hosts aircraft of the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia and Qatar involved in the US-led air campaign against Daesh, which is outlawed in several states, including Russia.
Earlier, Russia and Turkey have reached common understanding on the Syrian crisis, including fighting al-Nusra Front militants. During a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, his Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu said that Ankara considers not only Daesh but also al-Nusra Front as terrorists.
