Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he wants a three-way meeting with Syria’s Bashar Al-Assad and Russia’s Vladimir Putin, signaling a thaw with Damascus that could help end the war in Syria.
“We want to take a step as the Syria-Turkey-Russia trio,” Erdogan said late Wednesday, according to Turkish media.
