The two leaders talked about the recent developments in war-torn Syria and efforts to find a solution to the humanitarian crisis in the Syrian city of Aleppo, according to Kremlin.
This phone conversation came one day after Erdoğan and Putin spoke over the phone on Friday to discuss bilateral and regional issues.
A number of issues topped the conversation then as well, including an attack on Turkish soldiers near al-Bab in northern Syria.
Four Turkish soldiers were martyred and nine others were wounded in an air strike “thought to have been carried” out by Syrian government forces early on Nov. 24, the first anniversary of Turkey’s downing of a Russian jet along the border with Syria, the Turkish Armed Forces announced on Thursday.
On Sunday, a blast ripped through a street in the northern Syrian town of al-Rai in what was believed to be an Islamic State (IS) suicide bombing and 12 wounded, mostly children, were brought to a hospital in nearby Turkey, security and hospital sources said.
Turkey’s army earlier in the day said IS militants fired a rocket into the Khaliliye area of the same region that caused symptoms of “chemical gas” exposure in 22 Free Syrian Army (FSA) rebels.
On Saturday, one Turkish soldier was martyred and three others were wounded in an attack in northern Syria that came after Turkish Armed Forces initiated an offensive against IS targets as part of the ongoing Euphrates Shield operation.
