France’s Macron called Turkey’s Erdogan to discuss Syria’s Ghouta

French President Emmanuel Macron spoke by telephone with Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday to discuss Syria, notably the humanitarian situation in the besieged eastern Ghouta region, the French presidency said in a statement.

The statement said Macron “spoke of his deep concern and of immediate measures to be taken, notably by Iran and Russia, so that Damascus finally accepts the U.N resolution, gives access to humanitarian aid convoys and for a truce be implemented under U.N control”.

The two presidents will continue to seek a political solution to the Syrian crisis within the framework of the inclusive Geneva process with all involved partners and representatives of the Syrian opposition, the presidency said.
