Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will make a formal visit to Russia on March 9- 10, according to reports.
Although the official trip was announced earlier this month, the date had not been disclosed until now.
Details of the visit are just beginning to emerge but President Erdoğan is expected to hold talks with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, as a part of his itinerary, according to unofficial reports.
The meeting's agenda, along with the topics to be discussed by the two leaders, have yet to be disclosed by officials in either Turkey or Russia.
