General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces will visit Turkey

On Friday, 26 August Chief of General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov will visit Turkey.

He will arrive in Ankara in the morning led by the Russian military delegation and will hold a meeting with the head of the General Staff of the Turkish Armed Forces, Hulusi Akar.

However, this information has not yet been confirmed by the Ministry of Defense.

More background from Katehon:

The Turkish operation is being carried out with the tacit approval of Russia. After the meeting between Putin and Erdogan in St. Petersburg on August 9th, 2016, the parties agreed to coordinate fighting in Syria. Russia understands Turkey's interests in the Turkomen-populated Northern areas of the country as they are similar to Russia's interests in Russian-populated Eastern Ukraine.
