Media sourced reported in June 2016 that Turkey's president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan had expressed his 'regret and sorrow' to Russia's counterpart Vladimir Putin in a letter addressing the downing of a Russian jet and the killing of two Russian pilots in 2015. The message also expressed the desire to restore bilateral ties, according to both presidencies' offices. The incident took place in November 2015 near the Turkish-Syrian border and resulted in a deterioration of the relations between the two countries. Russia decided to suspend plans for a gas pipeline project and applied sanctions. Turkey announced in April 2016 it had detained the alledged killer of one of the Russian pilots. |
