ANKARA (Sputnik) — It will be Yildirim's first visit to Russia after his appointment as Turkey's prime minister in May.
"Our premier will pay an official visit to Russia on December 5-6. He will hold talks with [Prime Minister] Dmitry Medvedev," the source told RIA Novosti.
Yildirim and Medvedev are expected to discuss further steps to normalize bilateral relations following a November 2015 downing of a Russian jet by the Turkish Air Force over Syria, as well as anti-terrorism cooperation.
