The face-to-face meeting between Erdoğan and Putin is planned to begin at 15:00. After that, talks between the delegations will take place.
Putin and Erdoğan’s press conference was reportedly cancelled due to the Turkish leader’s schedule, but Russian organisers got the meeting room ready anyway in case the presidents change their minds.
