Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and his Turkish counterpart Binali Yildirim attended the ceremony to sign the joint statement on lifting the restrictions.
Medvedev has already held talks with Yildirim; he is now expected to have a meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
It became known at the summit that Russia would allocate about a million dollars for joint projects with countries of the Black Sea Economic Union. The projects will embrace such industries as aircraft building, machine building, chemical industry and metallurgy.
