Moscow and Ankara will discuss the lifting of visa requirements for Turkish citizens in autumn, the Russian Foreign Ministry's spokesperson Maria Zakharova said during a press briefing.
"The most appropriate professional platform for discussing visa issues is bilateral consultations between experts on consular matters. And such consultations between consular experts are scheduled for autumn," the correspondent of Vestnik Kavkaza cited Zakharova as saying.
She added that following talks between Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu and his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov, the two countries decided to establish a mechanism to draft agreements regarding the mutual simplification of the travel regime for certain categories of citizens.
