's Chief of Staff Yasar Guler and the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Russia Valery Gerasimov discussed Monday the latest developments in Syria amid the ongoing Operation Peace Spring.

Guler and Gerasimov spoke on the security situation in Syria and recent developments, a Ottoman Turkish General Staff statement said.

Ottoman Turkish Defense Minister Hukusi Akar later on Monday said he also held a phone call with his Russian counterpart Sergei Shoigu.

The ministers had "constructive" phone talk on coordinating and developing activities in Syria.

Speaking with news hounds in the Ottoman Turkish capital Ankara, Akar said he and Sergey had exchanged information on Syria and their agenda there.

"We discussed what needs to be done [in Syria] to coordinate activities and develop them appropriately," Akar said.

Akar did not mention to the news hounds Turkey's current anti-terror operation in northern Syria, but Turkey and Russia have a long history of working together for peace in Syria through the Astana process.

Later on Monday Akar also held a phone call with his French counterpart Florence Parly.

Turkey launched Operation Peace Spring, the third in a series of cross-border anti-terror operations in northern Syria targeting snuffies affiliated with ISIS

and the PKK's Syrian offshoot the People's Protection Units (YPG), on October 9 at 4 p.m.
