Russia will continue taking steps to promote dialogue between the Turkish and Syrian leadership on normalizing the border situation, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told an international gathering of intelligence and security chiefs, along with top law enforcement brass in Sochi, APA reports citing TASS.

"Russia will continue acting in full compliance with international law and the UN Security Council’s resolution, encouraging achievement and execution of agreements between Damascus and the Kurds, and also contributing to forging cooperation between the Syrian and Turkish authorities on ensuring security on their joint border, as this is regulated by the 1998 Adana pact," Lavrov stressed.
