Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov believes that what Russian head of state Vladimir Putin and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan have in common is that they are both very serious figures who do not engage in populism and develop relations between the two countries.
"Putin and Erdogan are very serious political figures, with great political experience, who do not engage in populism," Peskov told reporters on Monday. He noted that "these are politicians and statesmen mean what they say."
"What matters most is that they address concrete, substantive matters related to mutually beneficial bilateral relations" between Moscow and Ankara, the Kremlin spokesman stressed. He drew attention to the fact that "this is important for the peoples of the two countries."
