Putin has also stated that Russia and Turkey considered the Astana format to be the most effective mechanism for a peace settlement in Syria.

"The situation in the Idlib de-escalation zone is causing serious concern for us and our Turkish colleagues. Terrorists continue to shell the positions of Syrian government troops, try to attack Russian military facilities. The de-escalation zone should not serve as a refuge for militants and, moreover, a springboard for new attacks", Putin said.

According to the Kremlin, the main topic of their talks is the situation in Idlib Province, as well as political, economic and defence cooperation between the two countries.
