Putin's press secretary spoke to journalists about these words of Erdogan.
According to the spokesman, the speech is not about any change in Russia's position towards the Arab Republic.
"The position of Russia and President Putin on Assad did not change and she is well known. Putin, not being the lawyer of Assad, is an advocate of international law and a defender of international law. ", He said.
Recall, according to the President of Turkey Bashar Assad, Putin said that he personally is not a supporter of Assad.
"Erdogan, do not get me wrong, I'm not a supporter of Assad, I'm not his lawyer," the Turkish president quoted the words of the head of the Russian Federation.
As reported earlier by URA-Inform, the head of the Turkish state of Turkey Recep Erdogan stated that the Russian Federation has changed its attitude towards Syrian President Bashar Assad.
