土俄两国将举行谈判恢复关系
Turkey’s president Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Russian president Vladimir Putin will hold talks on Tuesday to hammer out details of restoring the two countries’ relationship after seven months of stand-off over Turkey’s shooting down of a Russian military aircraft.
在土耳其击落一架俄罗斯军机，导致两国陷入对峙7个月以后，土耳其总统雷杰普•塔伊普•埃尔多安(Recep Tayyip Erdogan)和俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔•普京(Vladimir Putin)将于周二举行会谈，以敲定恢复两国关系的细节。
Mr Putin will meet Mr Erdogan in St Petersburg, the Russian president’s home town, the two leaders’ first encounter since they met at the G20 summit in the Turkish city of Antalya last November. Just weeks after that, Turkey downed the Russian military jet which Ankara said had entered Turkish airspace from Syria.
普京将在自己的家乡圣彼得堡会见埃尔多安，这将是两人去年11月在土耳其安塔利亚(Antalya) 20国(G20)峰会上会面之后的首次见面。在上次会面仅数周后，土耳其击落了俄罗斯军机，安卡拉方面表示这架飞机从叙利亚进入了土耳其领空。
Following the incident, in which one of the two Russian pilots was killed, Moscow suspended contacts with Ankara and slapped economic sanctions on Turkey.
这起事件造成两名俄罗斯飞行员中的一人身亡，此后俄罗斯暂停与土耳其接触，并对土耳其实施了经济制裁。
The measures, including an embargo on agricultural products, a ban on tour travel, a freeze of energy talks, a partial exclusion of Turkish construction companies and restrictions on Turkish citizens working in Russia, added to Turkey’s deepening economic woes.
这些措施包括对农产品实施禁运、禁止旅游、冻结能源谈判、部分排除土耳其建筑公司、限制土耳其公民在俄罗斯工作等。这使土耳其日渐恶化的经济困境进一步加深。
But the two countries have sharply reversed course since the Kremlin said in late June that it had accepted an apology from Mr Erdogan. Since then, the two governments have started negotiations on normalising their economic ties.
但在克里姆林宫6月下旬宣布接受埃尔多安的道歉后，两国迅速改弦易辙。在那之后，两国政府开始就经贸往来的正常化开启谈判。
The Kremlin said last week that much more time would be needed to restore trust. However, the summit will be closely watched for signs whether Turkey moves closer to Russia amid tension with its Nato allies over western criticism of Mr Erdogan’s crackdown following last month’s military coup attempt.
克里姆林宫上周表示，恢复信任所需的时间还要长得多。然而，在西方批评埃尔多安在上月国内军事政变未遂后对内镇压，导致土耳其与其北约(Nato)盟友关系紧张之时，外界将密切关注这次峰会，留意土耳其向俄罗斯靠拢的迹象。
