The Russian and Turkish deputy foreign ministers, Alexei Meshkov and Ali Kemal Aydin, met in Moscow on Thursday to discuss the restoration of Russian-Turkish cooperation, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
"As the relations between Russia and Turkey are getting back to normal, the sides discussed prospects for gradual restoration of the entire range of Russian-Turkish cooperation, including the resumption of a political dialogue; the stepping up of trade and economic cooperation and cultural and humanitarian interaction," the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
"Special attention was paid to the creation of necessary conditions for Russian tourists for visiting Turkey. With a terrorist threat still high, the security of Russian nationals in Turkey remains unconditional priority for Russia," the ministry stressed.
