Dmitry Medvedev congratulates Ahmet Davutoğlu on taking office as Prime Minister of the Republic of Turkey

The message reads, in part:

Russia and Turkey are linked by traditionally friendly partner relations. I am confident that expanding our ties further in trade and the economy, investment, science, technology, culture and other areas fully meets the interests of our countries. I am ready to actively work with you on strengthening our multifaceted bilateral cooperation.
