“Over the past two weeks, the Turkish side has not taken part in joint patrols,” RIA Novosti quotes him.

Yegorov added that the Turkish side does not provide Russia with motivated reasons for refusing to jointly participate in patrolling.

Earlier, the press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, said that the level of relations between Russia and Turkey makes it possible to resolve differences over Syria through negotiations.

Special Representative of the President of Russia for the SAR, Alexander Lavrentiev, said that the Russian delegation tried to convince Turkish colleagues at a meeting in Astana to refrain from conducting an operation in Syria.
