Russia and Turkey Make Friends Again

It was only a year ago that Russia cut economic ties with Turkey, after Turkey shot down a Russian warplane over Syria. This week, Presidents Putin and Erdogan signed a deal to build a gas pipeline from Russia to Turkey. And it's not the only sign of the two countries agreeing a lot more these days -- including over Syria.
