Russia's military involvement in Syria was useful and in the interests of the West. The truce, complex negotiations in Geneva, the serious blow to Daesh and the liberation of the historic city of Palmyra would have been impossible without Russian forces, the magazine wrote.
"Any of these reasons is already enough to end the confrontation with Russia and welcome back Putin the far away brother to the international community. Because it's impossible to do without him," the article stressed.
"Vladimir Putin is more predictable, sociable and right-minded than the irrational Turk Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Angela Merkel got a clear idea about it in conversations with both of them," the magazine wrote.
In March, the European Union and Ankara agreed on a deal under which Turkey pledged to take back all undocumented migrants who arrived in the European Union through its territory in exchange for Syrian refugees accommodated in Turkey, on a one-for-one basis. In return, the bloc pledged to accelerate the Turkish EU accession bid and introduce a visa-free regime.
The deal is, however, on the brink of collapse due to Erdogan's unpredictable behavior and Turkey's failure to meet some out of the 72 total requirements for the introduction of a visa-free regime between Turkey and the Schengen Area.
"There is a growing conviction in the West about Russia's importance," the magazine wrote. "In political sense it means quickly turning toward Putin, stopping the arms race in the East as well as putting an end to sanctions against Russia. At least partially," the article noted.
The United States, the European Union as well as some other countries introduced personal and economic sanctions against Russia and Crimea in particular. Russia responded with introducing an embargo on food import from a number of EU countries, a measure that had drastic consequences for the European economy.
