Dushanbe, 21.007.2016. /NIAT «Khovar»/. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will meet his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin some time during the first 10 days of August, the Kremlin said on July 20, adding the exact date and location were yet to be determined.

“The meeting between Putin and Erdoğan is being prepared through diplomatic channels,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists at a press conference, while adding that the meeting would take place in Russia.

“We agreed to hold the meeting during the first 10 days of August and in the RussianFederation, but the exact date and the city is not clear yet,” he also said, according to Doğan News Agency.

Ankara and Moscow have recently engaged in tentative dialogue to restore relations. Erdoğan had sent a letter to Putin in late June to express his deep sorrow over the downing of the Russian jet and the killing of one Russian pilot on Nov. 24, 2015.

With the normalization of ties, Russia removed some sanctions on trade and restrictions on Russian tourists, though it will continue to impose visa regime to Turkish nationals.
