ERDOGAN AND PUTIN MADE AGREEMENT IN SYRIA Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Vladimir Putin, presidents of Turkey and Russia respectively, sealed on Tuesday an agreement whereby the former manages to close the security zone along the Turkish-Syrian border, which he so longed for, and the latter a victory in foreign policy that strengthens its regional role, which has come almost in tray.
