Turkey offers joint anti-IS strikes with Russia

None

Turkey's foreign minister says his country has called on Russia to carry out joint operations against the Islamic State group in Syria.

 

Mevlut Cavusoglu's comments came on Thursday, days after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan visited St. Petersburg for talks with Russia's Vladimir Putin.

 

Cavusoglu says: "On the issue of Daesh, we have made a call to Russia. We said we have a common enemy which we can struggle against together."
