MOSCOW - Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has denied Turkish media reports alleging that Moscow and Ankara have reached an agreement on suspending flights near the Syrian-Turkish border.
At the present time, all contacts between Russian and Turkish military officials have been suspended, and a hotline that was established specifically to prevent incidents has been deactivated now, Peskov said in a televised interview shown in a Saturday news program hosted by Sergei Brilyov.
“This (the Turkish media reports) absolutely differs from reality. We heard our General Staff’s and Defense Ministry’s statements yesterday on suspending all contacts on the military level with the Republic of Turkey. Hence, the hotline, which was set up specifically to prevent dangerous incidents, has been deactivated,” he said.
