Turkey's spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Tanju Bilgic, has been appointed as Turkey's new ambassador to Moscow. The appointment coincides with the announcement that Russian President Vladimir Putin will soon visit Turkey. Bilgic is replacing Mehmet Samsar, who has held the post since 2019 and overseen a period of tense relations between Turkey and Russia. Bilgic's tenure is expected to see swift developments on priority agenda items, including combating terrorism in the Middle East, disagreements over the extension of the Black Sea Grain Initiative, and Ankara's normalization talks between Damascus and Yerevan.
