UNITED
NATIONS (New York): US President Barack Obama and Russian President
Vladimir Putin clashed on Monday over their competing visions for Syria,
with Obama urging a political transition to replace the Syrian
president but Putin warning it would be a mistake to abandon the current
government.
Obama and Putin's dueling speeches at a United Nations general assembly summit served as a public preview of their private meeting late Monday. The sit-down marks their first face-to-face encounter in nearly a year and comes amid escalating Russian military engagement in Syria.
