There is something symbolic in the date of the RF Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's visit to Ankara. If we recall that a year ago exactly on these days broke out the Georgian-South Ossetian war, which put the region on the verge of catastrophe, then the visit of Putin to Turkey can be attributed to the list of planned chances. But if we also recall that it was exactly after this war that the Turkish Premier introduced the Caucasus Platform of Peace and Stability, it can be assumed that Vladimir Putin goes to Turkey not only to discuss the customs problems emergent between the two countries, but also to settle some more serious issues. And the most serious issue now for Russia is the possible realization of the Nabucco project.
