Saint Petersburg - Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday pledged to reinvigorate ties after their first meeting since Ankara shot down a Russian warplane last November.


Erdogan's visit to Putin's hometown of Saint Petersburg is also his first foreign trip since the failed coup against him last month that sparked a purge of opponents and cast a shadow over Turkey's relations with the West.


"We lived through a very complicated moment in the relations between our states and we very much want Nike Air Force 1 Low Blue Men's 488298-414 UK Sale , and I feel our Turkish friends want, to overcome the difficulties Men's Nike Air Force 1 Low Green 488298-305 UK Sale ," Putin told journalists at a joint press conference.


He insisted it would take "painstaking work" and "some time" to return to previous trade levels as Russia rolls back punishing economic sanctions against Ankara, but both sides said they wanted to restart major energy projects hit by the crisis.


Erdogan said he hoped relations would become "more robust" and stressed how important it was that Putin offered his support after the coup.


"We will bring our relations back to the old level and even beyond Men's Nike Air Force 1 Low Black 488298-033 UK Sale ," he said.


The shooting down of a Russian fighter jet by a Turkish F-16 on the Syrian border last November saw Putin slap sanctions on Turkey and launch a blistering war of words that dealt serious damage to burgeoning ties.


But in a shock reversal late June, Putin accepted a letter from Erdogan expressing regret over the incident as an apology.


He quickly rolled back a ban on the sale of package holidays to Turkey and signalled Moscow would end measures against Turkish food imports and construction firms.


Now in the wake of the failed July 15 coup attempt Nike Air Force 1 HI Black Gold 386152-001 UK Sale , there are fears in Western capitals that NATO-member Turkey could draw even closer to Moscow -- with Erdogan bluntly making it clear he feels let down by the United States and the European Union.


Putin was one of the first foreign leaders to phone Erdogan offering support after the coup attempt and shares none of the concerns of EU leaders about the ensuing crackdown.


- Back to business? -


Relations between Turkey and Russia -- two powers vying for influence in the strategic Black Sea region and Middle East -- have long been complicated.


Yet before the plane crisis, Moscow and Ankara managed to prevent disputes on Syria and Ukraine from harming cooperation on issues like the TurkStream gas pipeline to Europe and a Russian-built nuclear power station in Turkey.


Those projects were put on ice with trade between the two countries plunging 43 percent in January-May this year to $6.1 billion Nike Air Force 1 Mid 07 Black 315123-001 UK Sale , and Turkey's tourism industry seeing visitor numbers from Russia fall by 93 percent.


With Turkey's outlook flagging and Russia mired in economic crisis due to low oil prices and Western sanctions over Ukraine, both men want to get business start
