According to Markov, Russia/Turkey trade is rocketing from goods to energy, including gas, electricity, and even atomic. Russia is also allowing citizens to travel to and from both countries without visas, so Markov expects educators and scientists to begin working in both countries soon.
The day after Putin left, NATO agreed to allow Turkey to put missiles on its border with Syria. As allies with both nations, this puts Russia in an awkward position of perhaps being called on to negotiate between the two, but Markov muses that Russia may feel that it has less of an obligation towards Syria.
