By Orkhan Guluzade – Trend:

A Turkish delegation will visit Russia to discuss the Syrian crisis, Milliyet newspaper quoted Ibrahim Kalin, a spokesman for Turkish President Tayyip Recep Erdogan, as saying Aug. 10.

Kalin said the delegation will include employees of Turkey’s National Intelligence Organization (MIT), General Staff of the Turkish Armed Forces, and Foreign Ministry.

He noted that members of the Turkish delegation will also discuss security issues during the visit.

Syria has been suffering from an armed conflict since March 2011, which, according to the UN, has so far claimed over 500,000 lives.

Militants from various armed groups are confronting the Syrian government troops. The "Islamic State" and Jabhat al-Nusra are the most active terrorist groups in Syria.
