Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan discussed on Wednesday the deterioration of the situation in war-torn Syria and the future of the Turkish Stream gas pipeline project, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
Speaking about the progress in talks on the proposed Turkish Stream gas pipeline, Peskov said that the work on the project continued.
"The work goes on, and the sides share mutual understanding," he stressed.
"The sides continue to have differences in views [on the Syrian conflict], but there is no doubt that they share concerns over the situation, which, unfortunately, has a tendency for deterioration," Peskov told reporters in Moscow.
