In a telephone conversation held on Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Turkish counterpart Recep Erdogan agreed to work towards the normalisation of bilateral relations.
Relations between Moscow and Ankara have been strained since last November when two Turkish F-16 fighter jets downed Russian Su-24 bomber on the Turkish-Syrian border.
On Monday, Erdogan sent a letter of apology to Putin, in which he extended condolences to the family of the pilot killed in the incident and expressed interest in the normalisation of relations.
After the telephone conversation it emerged that the Russian president has instructed the government to begin talks with Turkey on restoring the commercial and economic cooperation.
TASS news agency informs that Moscow has lifted the administrative restrictions on visits of Russian citizens to Turkey, which had been imposed after the downing of the Russian aircraft.
On Wednesday, Putin expressed condolences to Erdogan and the whole Turkish nation over Tuesday's terrorist attack at Istanbul Ataturk airport which claimed the lives of at least 41 people and left hundreds other injured.
Both presidents highlighted the need to enhance international cooperation in the fight against terrorism.
Putin and Erdogan agreed to consider the option of holding a personal meeting in the near future.
They agreed that Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and his Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu will meet at the session of the Council of Ministers of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation in Sochi on July 1.
