“We have looked at the option of resuming our charter flights between Russia and Turkey, I think this is a matter of time,” Putin said at a press conference.
“Late last month we lifted the ban on selling travel tours to Turkey to Russian customers,” he stressed. “The most important objective here is for Turkey to ensure security for Russian tourists, and we have received such guarantees.”
Russia`s president also noted that visa regime issues between the two countries must be resolved in order to further Russian-Turkish economic ties.
“Visa issues should be addressed, because one way or another they relate to economic cooperation,” Putin said.
The Russian president said that the Turkish side had stressed that economic issues arose due to visa restrictions in the transport sector.
"We must bear this all in mind to unblock the issues of economic interaction," Putin said.
