The statement issued by Turkey’s Directorate of Communications said the two leaders also discussed the regional developments. On Saturday, Merkel said Libyan peace talks will be held in Berlin.
"We hope that the joint efforts by Russia and Turkey will lead to success, and we will soon send out invitations for a conference in Berlin," Merkel said during a joint press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow.
