Moscow, (IINA) - Russia said on Friday that Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan had requested a meeting with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Paris on Monday, Reuters reported.
"A proposal from the Turkish side about a meeting at the level of heads of state has been delivered to the president. That's all I can say", Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists on a conference call.
Putin and Erdogan will attend the global climate summit that begins in Paris on Monday. Peskov also said that Erdogan had telephoned Putin for around eight hours after Turkey shot down a Russian warplane on Tuesday. Erdogan told the France 24 television channel on Thursday that he had called Putin after the jet downed but that the Russian leader had not yet called him back.
Peskov concluded that the request was delivered to Putin, but he did not say whether Putin did or did not accept the meeting.
