"The two culture ministers held negotiations in March 2015 to prepare Russian-Turkish years of culture and tourism in 2017-2018. An agreement was reached to hold a year of Turkish culture and tourism in Russia in 2017 and a year of Russian culture and tourism in Turkey in 2018," he said.
"The issue of preparing these years is now being considered," he said.
