A visit by Russian President Vladimir Putin to Turkey planned for Oct 14-15 has been postponed until November, Today’s Zaman reports.

Russian sources say Putin and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke on the phone earlier this week and the visit was delayed upon Putin's request. The reason for the delay is yet unknown.

Putin was planning to visit Turkey for a meeting of the Turkey-Russia High Level Cooperation Council, which was established in 2010.
