ИСТИНА

The paper analyses the current state of Russian-Turkish relations. After the crisis of 2015 and subsequent 7-month-long “cold war” between Russia and Turkey the two countries demonstrate the formation of a new model for their bilateral relations which characterized by primarily focus on regional security issues. The obvious paradox of this model is that the different approaches towards the regional security issues and diverging visions of many regional problems have not made impossible the dialogue and cooperation of Russia and Turkey on all these issues.
