"President Erdogan will meet with Mr. Putin on Monday," Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Friday. The meeting will take place in the Russian resort city of Sochi, a senior Turkish official told AFP.

Speaking at a joint news conference with his Pakistani counterpart, Cavusoglu said Turkey is working to achieve a ceasefire in Syria's rebel-held northwest and is ready for cooperation to fight terrorist groups in the Idlib area.

Erdogan met with the leaders of Iran and Russia last week in Tehran to discuss Syria, but failed to win a ceasefire pledge.
