Turkey has said that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will visit Russia "soon" for talks with Vladimir Putin on reviving a Black Sea grain deal that could be used as a springboard for broader peace negotiations with Ukraine.
On Monday, Erdogan's ruling AK party spokesman Omer Celik told reporters that the meeting will take place in Russia's Black Sea resort city of Sochi and focus on averting a looming "food crisis".
