Turkey's President Tayyip Erdogan said he asked his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to jointly manage oil fields in eastern Syria's Deir al-Zor region, in place of the Kurdish-led forces which control them now.
"I made the offer to Mr. Putin that if he gives financial support, we can do the construction and through the oil obtained here, we can help destroyed Syria get on its feet," Erdogan told reporters aboard his plane back from talks in Brussels.
