“Much work remains to be done, we continue to actively cooperate on these issues with Russia ... We must not allow the Syrian problem to downplay our cooperation and affect our relations,” the Turkish Minister quoted Izvestia as saying.

He noted that the final answer regarding the agreements of the two countries on Idlib will be known on February 17 after the meeting of the Turkish and Russian delegations in Moscow.

Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry told the details of the meeting between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Chavushoglu on the sidelines of a security conference in Munich.
