While the World Energy Congress marked effects that will spread much beyond next week, we also dealt with a Russia-intense agenda. Following the meeting between President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, a protocol was signed between Economy Minister Nihat Zeybekci and Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak at the Turkey-Russia Intergovernmental Joint Economic Commission's (KEK) 14th meeting. Immediately after it, the 18th Turkey-Russia/Russia-Turkey Business Councils meeting hosted by the Foreign Economic Relations Board (DEİK) took place. Several messages also came out of all these and related meetings in which the parties displayed quite a positive attitude.
