Russian President Vladimir Putin is not planning to visit Turkey any time soon, said Dmitry Peskov, Russian presidential spokesman on August 29, RIA Novosti reported.

"No, this information is not true, there are no such plans for the nearest future,” said Peskov, answering the question whether the Russian leader is going to visit Turkey.

The crisis in relations between Turkey and Russia began after the incident with the downed Russian plane. After the incident, the Russian president signed a decree on measures to ensure national security and launch special economic measures against Turkey.

The relations began to recover after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan sent a letter to his Russian counterpart, where he expressed condolences to the family of the deceased pilot of SU-24 and regret over the incident with the Russian aircraft.

Later, after months of enmity between the two countries the Presidents of Turkey and Russia met in St. Petersburg on August 9.

The meeting between Erdogan and Putin moved the relations between Turkey and Russia to a new positive direction and served as the beginning of restoration of “axis of friendship” and clean slate between Ankara and Moscow.

Different aspects of further cooperation in the spheres of energy, trade and investment were discussed at the meeting.
