Turkey's ambassador in Moscow has announced that the prime ministers
of Turkey and Russia, who have held bilateral talks eight times in
the last five years, will meet once more next month when the latter
pays a visit to Turkey.
The Turkish ambassador in Moscow, Halil Akıncı, was delivering a
presentation at a round-table meeting held in Moscow on Monday when
he spoke of rising momentum in the bilateral relations between Russia
and Turkey.
"[Vladmir] Putin will visit Turkey next month. Not to even mention
the other visits," Akıncı said, after noting that Prime Minister
Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Prime Minister Putin, who took over as prime
minister after eight years as president, held bilateral talks eight
times in five years.
The two leaders most recently met over the weekend in Sochi, Russia,
where they discussed the Nagorno-Karabakh problem between Azerbaijan
and Armenia, as Ankara seeks to normalize its ties with Yerevan
without alienating Azerbaijan.
