Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of Russian-Turkish relations, an analysis of their decline and the way to find new points for building a dialogue. The contradictory nature of relations between the two countries has been developing for a long time, which was facilitated by the proximity of external borders and common interests in the border territories. The modern development of international relations between the two countries is dictated by the new realities of the era of globalization. The article provides data on the volume of trade between countries, cooperation in the fields of energy and tourism before and after the 2020 pandemic. Currently, the countries maintain relations and develop in various sectors of the economy, which are really important for the growth and strengthening of relations, despite the deep roots of confrontation.
