On the sidelines of the 22nd Summit of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which is being held in Uzbekistan, the presidents of Russia and Turkey had the opportunity to talk face to face.
The camera captured Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Vladimir Putin walking in the lobby of the summit smiling, like two good friends and talking casually.
