President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan and President of Russia, Vladimir Putin view a Sukhoi Su-57 fighter aircraft as they tour the MAKS-2019 International Aviation and Space Salon in Moscow, Russia on August 27, 2019.
"These talks relate to an extremely sensitive topic, so it is premature to talk about it now. Many people observed Erdogan's stay in Zhukovsky, what he looked at, what we showed. Both the Turkish side and our side have interest in this," Ushakov told reporters in Moscow, adding that another Russian-Turkish contract on the delivery of the S-400 air defence systems is close to completion.
With Iranian President Hasan Rouhani, Putin will discuss the establishment of an alternative payment to SWIFT. The issue is gaining momentum as Russian oil companies show interest in Iranian oilfield development.The summit in the Turkish capital will deal with developments in Idlib, refugees and a political solution to the lingering conflict in Syria.
Syria has been locked in a vicious civil war since early 2011, when the Assad regime cracked down on protesters with unexpected ferocity.
