- Story Text: The Kremlin said on Thursday (October 17) it was concerned by the humanitarian situation in northern Syria following Turkey's decision to launch a military operation there.
Peskov said Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Turkish counterpart Tayyip Erdogan would discuss Turkey's actions in Syria at a meeting in the Black Sea resort of Sochi on Tuesday (October 22) next week.
Peskov also told journalists that a letter sent by U.S. President Donald Trump to his Turkish counterpart Tayyip Erdogan, was highly unusual for correspondence between heads of state.
The White House on Wednesday (October 16) released the Oct. 9 letter, in which Trump urged Erdogan: "Don't be a tough guy" and "Don't be a fool!"
