MOSCOW. Feb 6 (Interfax) - The upcoming Russian-Turkish negotiations involving the heads of state will address "every dimension" of trade and economic relations, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

"Indeed, all of these issues will be on the agenda. In fact, trade and economic relations will be discussed in every dimension," Peskov told reporters on Tuesday.

He was asked about the talks' agenda, including the possible discussion of Russian-Turkish settlements hindered by the U.S. sanctions, the possible establishment of a Russian-Turkish bank, and the Russian-Turkish gas hub roadmap.

"Turkey is an important trade and economic partner of ours and, of course, every nuance of these relations will be on the agenda," Peskov said.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is due to visit Ankara shortly. Turkish media said that the bilateral summit was possible on February 12.
