Ankara would welcome Russian President Vladimir Putin visiting Antalya for a Russia-Turkey friendly football match should he decide to do so, but no decisions have been made on the issue, Turkish Foreign Minister Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said Wednesday.

ANKARA (Sputnik) – Turkish media reported that a Russia-Turkey friendly was scheduled to be held in Antalya on August 31.

"Yesterday, such information appeared on social media, but there is no such plan yet, but this would be great. Such visit would contribute to further normalization of our relations," Cavusoglu told reporters.

Last month, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Putin’s schedule did not include a trip for a football exhibition match in Turkey, but nothing could be ruled out.
