President Vladimir Putin will meet his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Turkey on Oct. 10, the Kremlin said on Oct. 4, as the countries mend ties shattered by Ankara's shooting down of a Russian warplane last year.

"The visit will be on October 10," Interfax news agency quoted Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov as saying.

"There will be a speech at the World Energy Congress and a bilateral meeting."
