MOSCOW (Sputnik) — He added that Russia and Turkey are two key countries in the region and despite the fact that the pace of development of relations may change from time to time, they must always be based on "good-neighborliness and respect for mutual interests in the region."
"It seems to me that the agenda of the prime minister's negotiations during his visit to Russia will be determined by two main points, the issue of peace and security in the region and issues of bilateral cooperation in trade and economy," Sorgun said.
Yildirim's first official visit to Moscow kicks off on Tuesday and is set to last through Wednesday. As part of the visit, the Turkish prime minister is expected to hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
