DENPASAR, Bali, October 7 (Itar-Tass) - Russian and Indonesian presidents Vladimir Putin and Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono have discussed the situation around Syria and reiterated most countries’ intention to resolve the conflict peacefully, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters after talks between the two countries’ leaders on Monday.

“President Yudhoyono has highly appreciated efforts of Russia and personally of President Putin towards Syria’s conflict settlement,” he said. “The Russian leader said in turn that a clear-cut position on Syria announced at the G20 summit in St. Petersburg by Indonesia and many other countries made a very important contribution to configuration of efforts we have now.”

“Both Russia and Indonesia have expressed satisfaction with the fact that more and more countries, including the United States, realize that Syria’s problem can be resolved only through peaceful means,” Peskov said.
