Kerry says U.S., Russia agree to share more intelligence on Islamic State

2^min

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Tuesday that Russia and the United States had agreed to share more intelligence regarding the fight against Islamic State insurgents.

He spoke after a meeting in Paris with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who said that as many 500 fighters from Russia may have joined the ultra-radical militant group.

Kerry also said there was "no discrepancy" between the United States and Turkey with regard to the strategy for fighting Islamic State militants trying to take over a Kurdish town in Syria near the Turkish border.

U.S. Secretary of State Kerry added that Ankara would define its role according to its own timetable.

On another note, Kerry said he did not believe that reaching a final deal on Iran's nuclear program by a Nov. 24 deadline was out of reach, although he noted that many issues remained to be resolved.

Turning to Ukraine, Kerry said that neither the United States nor the international community would recognize any separatist referendums in eastern Ukraine, although his Russian counterpart disagreed.

He also called for foreign forces to be withdrawn from Ukraine, hostages to be released and sovereignty restored along the Ukraine-Russia border.
