Putin and Obama "ready to better coordinate efforts"

“Vladimir Putin called on his counterpart to separate, as soon as is possible, the definitions of moderate forces from Al Nusra, and other extremist groups,” a statement added, noting that it was also "important to resurrect the UN-mediated peace talks to arrive at a political solution of the crisis.”

RT is quoting media reports according to which U.S. officials earlier put forward "a proposal that would see Russian and U.S. air forces conduct joint strikes against Al-Nusra Front, an Al-Qaeda branch in Syria."

So far, Russia has not commented on the reported initiative, which has supposedly been endorsed by both the Department of State and the Pentagon, the broadcaster said.

During the conversation, Putin and Obama gave a positive evaluation of Russia’s efforts to mediate the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh, while Putin "also returned to the topic of the Minsk agreements and called on Kiev to follow the terms of the 18-month-old treaty, which has still not been fully implemented."
