Russia-Turkey Relations Became Normal and Friendly
Russia-Turkey relations have become normal and friendly, Senior Research Fellow of the Institute of World Economy and International Relations Victor Nadein-Rayevsky stated in an interview with a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, when answering a question on coming visit of Turkish President Ahmet Sezer to Moscow. He reminded that 90% of Turkish export goes to Russia. "Turkish economy has strengthened a bit during past 2-3 years. As of discussion of international problems, these are discussed at any meeting of that level. Russia cannot play any role in EU-Turkey relations, as the issue of Russia's accession to the EU is not on the agenda. As of regional conflicts, of course these will be subject to discussion between Putin and Sezer,» the Russian scholar believes.
