Kremlin: Putin, Erdogan to Meet in Foreseeable Future
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Kremlin said on Wednesday Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan would hold a meeting in the foreseeable future, although it was not yet agreed when and where the meeting would take place.
Putin congratulated his “dear friend” Erdogan after the latter’s victory in Turkey’s presidential election on Sunday, Reuters reported.
Ankara has conducted a diplomatic balancing act since Russia sent troops into Ukraine in February last year, opposing Western sanctions on Russia while retaining close ties with both Moscow and Kiev, its Black Sea neighbors.
