Behind the scenes of the Istanbul meeting: why did the President of the Russian Federation refuse to participate in the negotiations?

A new episode of the program Yekunlaşdıraq ("Let's Summarize") was released on Baku TV, which reviewed the main political events of the week.

The focus was on the behavior of European leaders, particularly French President Emmanuel Macron, and what conclusions they drew from recent demarches; the restoration of dialogue with Syria through Ankara's mediation, despite Israel's protests; behind-the-scenes details of the meeting in Istanbul, Turkey, and the reasons for Russian leader Vladimir Putin's refusal to participate in the negotiations.

Also discussed were possible political traps being prepared against Turkey, and the reasons why the visit of White House head Donald Trump to the Middle East was accompanied by resonance and became a cause for heated discussions.
