Turkey, Russia Develop Multi-dimensional Partnership

The Russian leader said his visit to Turkey to meet with President Ahmet Necdet Sezer and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan was overdue.

Putin signed a "declaration on a profound and multidimensional partnership" subsequent to talks with Sezer. As such, Turkey and Russia have decided to support one another on all international platforms, including the United Nations (UN).

Consensus was reportedly made on many issues and a signature ceremony will be held during Erdogan’s visit to Moscow on January 15th.
