MOSCOW, January 24. /TASS/. The Kremlin has no specific details about the possibility of a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Monday.

"No, there are no specific details," he said when asked if there had been contacts between Ankara and Moscow about arranging a meeting between the leaders ahead of Erdogan’s visit to Ukraine.
