The minister believes the relations between Ankara and Moscow will return to their previous, pre-crisis level.
Albayrak said the normalization of bilateral relations will benefit both countries.
In December 2014, Russia abandoned the South Stream project in favor of Turkish Stream, which involves the construction of a gas pipeline from Russia to Turkey through the Black Sea.
However, the project was frozen after the relations between Moscow and Ankara deteriorated in November 2015.
During a meeting on Aug. 9, Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdogan agreed to resume the implementation of the Turkish Stream project.
