"Going back to the news conference of Presidents of France and the United States Francois Hollande and Barack Obama in Washington, I noticed that the French president suggested taking steps to close the Turkish-Syrian border to stop both the flow of militants and terrorist financing," the Russian minister said. "It is significant that President Obama did not respond to this in any way, but I think it's the right suggestion."
"I hope that President Hollande will brief us on the issue tomorrow (during the meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin)," the Russian foreign minister said. "We would be ready to seriously consider the steps necessary for this."
"Many say that, by closing this border, we will effectively curb the terrorist threat in Syria," Lavrov added.
This wont please the turks for sure..
No more terrorists coming into Syria via turkey & no terrorist protection...The rats have nowhere to run.
Oh..!!! And no more $$$$$ for Erdogan & Co. from illegal oil..What a shame..!!!
I also propose a total no fly zone over all of Syria through the legal means of the still legal President of Syria Mr Assad..
That is the only way things will get done & isis disempowered.
Good to see the French giving the Russians some real support.
Russia needs more of this from the world & not isis supporting accomplices like the immoral trash from most of the nato block.
Sorry nato & isis & the turk govt. don't deserve my respect to be written in capitals.
