Putin 'did not feel isolated' at G8 talks on Syria

Russia's President Vladimir Putin has said that he did not feel isolated at talks with G8 leaders on the situation in Syria.

"We had disagreements that is true but I never felt lonely and Russia never was on its own in making a statement in regards of Syria.

"Clearly some wanted to have more details and others less but it was a joint discussion with great interest demonstrated, people who want to find a very effective, a joined and common solution to the Syria problem."

"The bloodshed has to be stopped and this is what we called for. This can be achieved only by political and diplomatic means".
