Turkey and Russia have different stances on the crisis in Syria, as Ankara opposes the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad while Moscow supports it.

Putin underlined that a solution must be found to the crisis and terrorism in Syria, but that should be done by the Syrian people themselves.

The Russian president further said that Assad garnered overwhelming support in the June presidential elections.

Syria has been grappling with a deadly crisis since March 2011. The violence fuelled by opposition groups has so far claimed the lives of over 200,000 people, according to reports. (T/P007/R03)
