Russia on Monday said President Vladimir Putin's visit to Türkiye is not on schedule before the forthcoming presidential election.
"The schedule before the elections is still quite tight … But preparations for contacts at the highest level are underway, we have stated this repeatedly. These contacts will take place, but at a time when it best suits the schedules of the two presidents," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a press briefing in Moscow.
Russia will hold the presidential election on March 15-17, the first three-day presidential vote in the country's history. Putin is seeking a fifth term.
