Putin and Erdogan have even more friendship today expected a meeting between them

Earlier this week, the Kremlin press service said in a statement that Putin and Erdogan, during their working meeting in Ankara, will continue to exchange views on regional and bilateral agendas.

“Sputnik” addressed experts to discuss the current state of Russian-Turkish relations and the possible outcome of future talks between the two leaders.

According to Ahmet Berat Konkari, a Turkish lawmaker from the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and co-chairman of the Russian-Turkey Public Forum, talks will contribute to the development of bilateral co-operation on a range of issues, writes Periscope.

“It is important that Moscow and Ankara deepen their co-operation, including regional stability and the situation in Syria and Iraq”, Conkar told “Sputnik Turkey”

As a potential meeting agenda, the Turkish lawmaker suggested Putin and Erdogan would likely discuss closer bilateral co-operation between Russia and Turkey on the most important international issues, including escalation on the Korean peninsula, relations with the United States and the Ringayave crisis in Myanmar.

Also in this meeting, experts say, is expected to be heard about military political co-operation and the S-400 missile recipient.

The next meeting is an opportunity to get bilateral relations at a new level, according to Volkan finishedmir, director of the Institute for Trades and Energy Policy (EPPEN).

The expert suggested the talks would focus on the military and political component of Moscow-Ankara ties, which are recently expanding.

“Since August 2016, Russia and Turkey have actively developed military and political co-operation, mainly in the Syrian crisis, at that time the bases were set for an important military and future political agreement, and since then co-operation has been positive for Syria. Moscow and Ankara have signed an agreement on Turkey's Russian missile defence system S-400, and there have been some important regional agreements between Russia, Turkey, Iran and Iraq”, finishedmir said.

Prof. Natalia Ulchenko, a senior expert at the Institute for Eastern Studies at the Russian Academy of Sciences, noted that despite the remaining differences, Russia-Turkey relations have made significant progress last year.

“Dinamica has been positive, apparently Moscow and Ankara are ready to listen to each other and make concessions, for example, S-400 was unexpected considering the fact that Turkey is integrated with NATO military standards, another proof that a compromise is always possible”, said Ulchenko./Periscopi/
