The presidents of Russia and Turkey, Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdogan, have been holding talks in Sochi since Monday. This is the first direct meeting between the two leaders in nearly a year. According to the agency, the heads of state discussed the situation surrounding the agreement on grains and other issues.
