Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will pay a visit to Russia August 9, said the press office of Turkish president.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, while talking to France-24 on Saturday, voiced a hope to have a meeting with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in mid-August.

“Right now, the Turkish Foreign Ministry negotiates it with the Russian counterparts," he said. "Of course, the recent events in Turkey, apparently, will change the visit timing. But I think, if nothing extraordinary happens, a meeting with the Russian president may take place about mid-August."

Earlier, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov told journalists a meeting between the two presidents will be held in Russia in early August. "They (Putin and Erdogan) agreed to hold the meeting in early August, it will take place in the Russian Federation, but the city and the exact date are so far being considered," the Kremlin representative said.
