The Kremlin says Vladimir Putin will visit Turkey next week, a trip that follows an unusual break in the Russian president’s travel that has fueled speculation about his health.
Putin’s office announced Wednesday that the one-day visit to Istanbul Monday will focus on economic issues.
Three reasons why the constitutional assembly’s odd decision to finish its “final draft” today could be bad news for the country.
Putin was expected to visit Turkey in October, but he postponed that and several other foreign trips, and spent most of the past two months at his suburban residence, visiting the Kremlin only rarely. The hiatus in travel has triggered a swirl of rumors about Putin’s condition.
