Vladimir Putin refuses to speak to Turkish president over Ankara's lack of apology

   Nowadays almost everyone keeps track of events taking place in Russia and in the whole world. It’s obvious because so many things have happened lately and, surely, so many tribulations have been brought to people by the Islamic State. So I decided to do research on the topic «Foreign policy» and I found the article where is talking about the latest news. 

   The headline of the article I've read is «Vladimir Putin refuses to speak to Turkish president over Ankara's lack of apology». It was written by Raziye Akkoc and Roland Oliphan and published on line «The Telegraph» in the issue from the 27th of November in 2015. The purpose of the article is to give the reader some information on the relations between Russia and Turkey.

   The authors start by telling the reader that the confrontation between the two countries deepens and Vladimir Putin has twice refused to take calls from Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Turkish president, until he apologises for a Turkish warplane shot down a Russian military jet on November 24. Besides, Mr Erdogan said that Mr Putin was “playing with fire” following Russian authorities’ arrest of 39 Turkish businessmen for visa violations on Thursday.

 The authors write about the worst crisis in relations between Ankara and Moscow since the cold war. Further Raziye Akkoc and Roland Oliphan report on visa regime for entering Russia for Turkey from January 1, 2016. However, it will not impact Russian tourists who visit Turkey without visas each year unless Ankara imposes a reciprocal ban. Also the authors point out that the Turkish airforce decided to suspend missions over Syria in order to ease tensions with Russia. Further the authors tell about Mr Putin’s opinion that Turkey bought oil from Isil. Moreover, Russian president added that Ankara had "stabbed Russia in the back". At last, according to the article, Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused the Russian president of slander.
  All in all, I found the article interesting because it’s an actual problem. In my opinion, this situation is very difficult. I hope that this conflict between Russia and Turkey, the countries which had such good relations, will be resolved in a peaceful way as soon as possible. It’s very important to improve this relationship because there is a tense atmosphere around the world and Russia needs more allies.
  And the question for my groupmates is "Do you think that Russia and Turkey will come to common decision?".
