Turkey and Russia will sign a visa removal agreement next week. The
deal is expected during Russian President Dmitry Medvedev’s visit to
Turkey on May 11-12.

"The consulates of the two countries have initialed the agreement to
lift visa procedures," Turkey’s Ambassador to Russia Halil Akinci
said.

Akinci said Russia had requested small changes in the editing of the agreement.

`However, Medvedev and Turkish President Abdullah Gul could sign the
agreement without waiting for domestic approval process to end,’
Akinci said.

Transitions between Turkey and Russia without any visa are expected to
begin within this year.
