We will continue to develop our dialogue with our Black Sea neighbor, Russia, in all areas in order to contribute to regional and global peace,” RIA Novosti quoted Erdogan as saying.
He expressed confidence that the Ukrainian crisis would be settled at the negotiating table.
Earlier, the press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, said that Putin and Erdogan at a meeting in Sochi on August 5 talked about the development of the entire complex of relations between Russia and Turkey.
