Putin thinks there is understanding with Obama on political settlement in Syria

PARIS, November 30. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin thinks that there is understanding between him and US President Barack Obama on future political settlement in Syria. "In general, I think, there is understanding in what direction we should move [on Syria]," Putin told journalists after his visit to Paris. "If we are talking about the necessity of political settlement, then the new constitution is needed [in Syria], along with new election and monitoring the results," the Russian president noted. Putin added that he had discussed with Obama the list of terrorist organizations operating in Syria on the sidelines of the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris. "We talked about Syria," Putin told journalists. "We also discussed what we should focus on in the near future. But it is a list of organizations, which we consider to be terrorist; a list of organizations, which represent a ‘healthy’ part of the opposition. Our joint actions on the political track were also part of agenda," the Russian president stressed. According to the Russian president, talks also focused on the situation in Ukraine. "We talked about the necessity of full implementation of the Minsk Agreements by all sides," Putin concluded. Read more
