President Putin: Solving problem of extremism is important condition for settlement in Syria

Moscow, SANA-Russian President Vladimir Putin affirmed on Wednesday that solving the problem of extremism is considered an important condition to settle the crisis in Syria and an effective solution to the issue of refugees in Europe.

“The refugees have to be able to return home,” President Putin said at a meeting with his Austrian counterpart Heinz Fischer in Moscow, adding that the latest terrorist acts in Brussels and Paris affirm once again the need for unifying efforts of the international community against terrorism.

Fischer, for his part, expressed satisfaction over the joint efforts of Russia and the US to resolve the crisis in Syria, saying that the problem of migration into Europe is firmly linked to the solution of the crisis in Syria.
