Turkey and Russia are planning to increase their bilateral annual trade four-fold to $100 billion in the next five years, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday. "We aim at boosting our trade to $100 billion in the next five years," Erdogan said at a news conference following talks with Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in Istanbul.
Russian-Turkey trade dropped to $23 billion in 2009 due to the global economic crisis.
