The presidents of Russia and the United States held talks in Finnish capital of Helsinki on Monday to discuss a wide range of issues including Iran.
The two presidents have reportedly agreed on the issue of Iran’s presence in Syria.
“Clearly, we mentioned the regional crisis; for instance, Syria. As far as Syria is concerned, the task of establishing peace and reconciliation in this country could be the first showcase example of this successful joint work. Russia and the United States apparently can act proactively and take — assume the leadership on this issue, and organize the interaction to overcome humanitarian crisis, and help Syrian refugees to go back to their homes,” USA Today quoted Russian President Vladimir Putin as saying in a joint presser with Donald Trump on Monday.
