Relationships between Türkiye and Russia

Türkiye and Russia are trading partners.

Russia provides Turkey with large amounts of crude oil and natural gas, providing solid support for Turkey’s economic development. However, during the 2014 Syrian crisis, Russia supported the Syrian government and Turkey supported the opposition, leading to a sharp deterioration in economic relations between the two countries. Trade volume has dropped significantly, even to only a quarter of 2014. However, in recent years, trade between the two countries has gradually recovered, and the prospects for future cooperation are optimistic.

Turkey and Russia have a long cultural history and heritage, and cultural exchanges between the two countries are constantly strengthening. Russia, in particular, has shown a high interest in Turkish customs and language. Because of the geographical proximity between the two countries, cultural exchanges and mutual understanding between the two countries have been continuously enhanced.
