“A very important step has been taken for this [normalization of relations],” Peskov said. “Certainly, many steps are to be taken together towards each other. One should not think that everything will get back to normal within a matter of days. But the work along these lines will proceed.”
Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan sent a letter of condolences to Russia’s President Vladimir Putin June 27 over the death of Russian Su-24 pilot and expressed regret over the incident.
