"Putin says that he welcomes such steps from the Turkish party in this regard. We also call to set up a joint working group in order to discuss future steps of the countries," he stated.

According to Çavuşoğlu, it may be a "formal or informal format", the main thing after all is to "find a common way" to settle disputes both countries have.

Before that, the Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed that Russia wanted to restore relationship with Turkey despite the incident with Su-24. As he stated, Russia hadn't heard any apologies from Turkey, as well as statements on readiness to compensate for damages.
