The deputy minister noted that he is not ready to talk about a specific date of the Russian-Turkish contacts yet, but noted with satisfaction the resumption of the contact mechanism, which existed before the crisis.
The relations between Moscow and Ankara deteriorated sharply in late 2015 when Turkey shot down a Russian Su-24 bomber with two pilots on board. In June 2016, Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan sent a letter of condolences to his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin over the death of a Su-24 pilot and expressed regret over the incident. After that, the two countries’ relations began to improve.
