Moscow is ready to normalize ties with Ankara after they deteriorated following Turkey’s downing of a Russian fighter jet late last year, but Russia has not received any positive signals from Turkey yet, according to Russian Federation Council Chairwoman Valentina Matviyenko.

Matviyenko said that despite the fact Russia was willing to try to repair tense relations, Turkey – which she said bore responsibility to take a step as it downed the Russian jet – had not yet given any signals.
