The phone talks, earlier reported to last 40 minutes, also covered normalizing relations between Russia and Turkey and stressed the importance of bilateral cooperation.
Moreover, the two presidents agreed to take necessary steps to restore bilateral relations, the Turkish presidential office said.
“Presidents of Turkey and Russian Federation Tayyip Erdogan and Vladimir Putin have held a phone talk today. They stressed the importance to restore bilateral relations, as well as to cooperate in fight against terrorism and in solving regional crises,” the statement said.
According to the Turkish presidency, the sides agreed on the importance to maintain bilateral contacts.
The conversation between the two leaders comes two days after Erdogan sent a letter expressing regret over the downing of a Russian Su-24 attack aircraft by a Turkish jet over Syria in November 2015.
