Syrian Kurds on Wednesday called on Damascus ally Moscow to facilitate "dialogue" with the regime, following threats of a Turkish invasion of northeastern Syria.

The plea came after Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Moscow has contacted both the Kurdish authorities and Damascus, urging them "to begin dialogue" to ensure security on the Turkish-Syrian border.

Speaking in Kazakhstan on Wednesday, Lavrov said: "We will do our best to facilitate the start of such...talks and expect that they will be supported by all main outside players."
