REPORT: Turkey's Erdogan urges G20 nations to create Syria 'safe zone'
Leaders from the world's top economies broadly agreed at a summit in China on Monday to coordinate macroeconomic policies, but few concrete proposals emerged to meet growing challenges to globalisation and free trade.
 
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan urged world powers at to set up a ​"safe zone" in Syria where there would be no fighting and which could help stem migrant flows from the Arab nation.
 
In the same context, the United States tried but failed to finalize a deal with Russia for a ceasefire in Syria on the sidelines of the summit.

Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin had a longer-than-expected discussion about whether, and how, they could agree on a deal, a senior U.S. administration official said.

But in talks earlier on Monday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov were unable to come to terms on a ceasefire for the second time in two weeks, although they will meet again this week.
