I don't anticipate this happening. These 2 countries have more or less been at war with each for the last couple of years.

Interesting time to point out that Turkey is a member of NATO.

I think this is a genuine coin flip. Putin was a supporter of Erdogan after the coup.

From what I'm reading, Erdogan and Putin have already talked and agreed to increase security measures in both countries. Quoting Russian state media: Putin said it was a "cowardly murder" and provocation, aimed at damaging friendly relations with Turkey and destabilizing the situation in Syria.

Russia and Turkey have been extremely friendly since August and I doubt this will slow their momentum. I'm not saying things couldn't sour again (like they did after a Russian plane was shot down in Turkey last November), but both countries really need each other for tourism and trade. Their economies are closely linked and Russia's trying to build an oil pipeline through Turkey to Europe (bypassing Ukraine).

You guys might be right. I have a pretty general yet limited knowledge of current relations between the two.
