Barack Obama sat
down with Russian President Vladimir Putin for crucial talks on the
sidelines of the G20 summit as both countries pledged to eliminate ISIS
and end the Syrian war that has fueled its rise.
Their
huddle over a coffee table in Antalya, Turkey, on Sunday came after the
extremist group claimed responsibility for Friday's horrific
coordinated attacks in Paris that left 129 people dead and hundreds
injured.
The
two leaders, who saw each other for the first time since Russia started
air strikes over Syria in September, chatted in a foursome with Obama's
national security adviser Susan Rice and a Russian aide.
Their meeting was visible on a television feed provided by the summit's host country but their conversation could not be heard.
