Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday discussed ways to enhance bilateral relations and exchanged views on regional developments, Turkey’s presidency said.

They discussed “steps to improve Turkey-Russia relations,” said the statement, noting that Erdogan reiterated his determination to advance the cooperation between the two countries in all fields, Xinhua news agency reported.

The two leaders evaluated regional issues and international developments, especially in the Caucasus, Syria, and Libya, it added.

Tensions between Ankara and Moscow heightened recently over Turkey’s sales of armed drones to Ukraine. Russia is angered over Ukrainian forces using Turkish-made Bayraktar drones in their conflict in the Donbass region.

Russia and Turkey jointly operate an observation centre in Nagorno-Karabakh to ensure the ceasefire is maintained between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
