Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said Tuesday that he expects more developed relations between Ankara and Moscow as the two countries are neighbors.
"We will see more developed relations and that is what needs to take place, because Turkey is a neighbour to Russia. We have… common interests, a common future," Yildirim told Sky News in an interview.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan are expected to meet on August 9 in St. Petersburg for the first time since the bilateral relations deteriorated in late 2015.
