a constructive work with the american partners to fight terrorism including in syria. i hope that this work will continue as the first thing the second we will respectfully three the interests of our turkish friends in this fair to ensure their security and the third one i feel now is that if the agreement between syrian republic and the turkish republic from nineteen ninety eight way it speaks about fighting terrorism and i think. is the basis which. would close as many serious covers many as are concerning be ensuring its turkish security is what it took issue with us we discuss this topic in detail and finally at the end of this press conference the

correspondent for russia today. please mr mr putin a question a few parts but the one topic first of all i'd like to clarify concerning the situation in it leave the way in spite of some set success says this tale of the terrorists that continue to operate and there are more and more violations there of the ceasefire regime i'd like to clarify why you. think. we are not long past eighteen hundred hours g.m.t. here on out zero nine pm in moscow where. so you see the turkish president rejected and the russian president vladimir persian have been holding a news conference after their talks today they have spoken mostly about the situation in syria but also about a lot of cooperation economic interest and cooperation between for two countries will just keep taking a listen to some of these questions first part of your question relates to leap.

security we really i spoke about it mr president spoke about it we discussed this. in detail today. alack once again to repeat myself we see that our turkish friends . do a lot of efforts so that people in all of our agreements concerning insurance security and the creation of the buffer zone. i feel not for sure there are many problems there we see all that and in our turkish patna see that we agreed so that how we can coordinate our way in the near future with. their ministers of defense also come back to the presence additional consultations they work out of. joint measures will be implementing them and they will. try to fulfill all obligations we have

joint conviction that we should jointly continue to terrorism. whatever they are including in a. setting the second part of your question concerning the formation. we think that it is a very important direction which should fix so late results saturday the results because fighting terrorists in the in the territory because of the finally all these years. in the long term can be resolved by political diplomatic means to. reach the consensus about all the conflicting sides in syria it can be done exclusively in the course of the including on the creation of such a structure of the state power what that would be a stable acceptable for all confessional ethnic groups and.

within the framework of which everyone would feel that here is belonging to the future of their country syrian arab republic what concerns the difficulties yes they are all some fortunately i said about it all of us all interested but dispose of this process should display should show more political will more consistency. and an insincere frank desire to reach its results we met in a stumble and initiative of the turkish president as you remember russia turkey france germany we agreed that that. will jointly work on the creation of this committee they call it ask russia to take delegation to coordinate this is years. on the personal cost to make up of this committee. with the syrian government and with. partners.

turkish republic. difficult task to coordinate this list with their present that they saw the opposition carried out this work in full it was a complex work we agreed with gordon at that with to her and with damascus in a very difficult discussion i can discussion i can assure you that i am sure our turkish friends had a difficult time to. arrange this place with the opposition. but we know. we're not just no it's not just. mr present that will confirm it the way we agreed . to what was stated by the turkish party their work was completed and. the final stage when we should have in geneva we had our some of our partners i think consider this work to be

incomplete. you can give me this. it was it was very unexpected for us evident in the internet this is an internet. the general secretary. signed. there and directed directed on behalf of the represented so france germany great britain. the fifth point your special represented them as tour de mistura should not approve any statement regarding the constitutional committee. which they guarantee. of estonia will make in geneva on the eighteenth nineteenth december. it is. it was completely unexpected for us. it's difficult for me to comment on it.

which of this appeal to the general secretary on the part of all partners. have enough patience continue working with them though we don't quite a bit don't quite understand what is this position is based upon. had conversations with my colleagues from france. germany. ministers of foreign affairs. managed. in this way so that our level of trust will there is taught finally.

ok friends. about it later and about the constitution committees his arms. of course these are the subjects that we have discussed i think he gave a very clear answer about this. organizations in italy and our combat against them will continue in cooperation with russia of course our combat against terror organization is not. temporary we will continue the struggle because our aim is to maintain. the people of syria and their and their peace and happiness and also not to give any opportunities to terror organizations and now we have confirmed this in our discussions and of course we have also discussed the constitution committee and our foreign ministry.

has been. has been. told to continue this process and. summit in istanbul all the decisions we have taken in there should be. continued of course there is a new representative. on that we i don't know how this process will continue but as . the letter has been read. just earlier of course surprise this but this is just applies to them it doesn't apply to us. as we said in istanbul. and we agreed we thought together. we have. agreed together. we will continue this process as we greet. my friend president reject typer one there alongside russia's vladimir putin outlining the next steps to take far as trying to resolve the war in syria or

at least make some progress there there has been a lot to digest there actually and we're going to do that with thank you. our team and that is no one to share in london our senior political analyst and also rory chalons in moscow. to you first as i said lots to discuss there and i know these sorts of news conferences a very orchestrated but even so you saw two people there being very friendly very complimentary to each other and two men who are technically on the other sides or on different sides of this conflict yeah these are two men who have talked together so many times over recent months and years of course they had their problems when the russian plane was shot down over the turkey syria border. a couple of years ago but things have got better between them since then and of course.
