Russian President Vladimir Putin will visit Turkey in the coming days, according to Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan. “Mr Putin’s visit was planned.

It should have happened sooner. This visit will give us the opportunity to address many questions,” he declared on the public channel TRT Haber. Syria will also be on the agenda, slipped the Turkish minister: although in agreement on numerous international issues, Moscow and Ankara disagree on the presence of fighters from the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in northeastern Syria.
