The interview came after a draft agreement on normalization between Turkey and Israel, which was earlier submitted to the Turkish parliament, was finally ratified by the Turkish MPs.
"It is of importance to both sides when it comes to restoring ties between Tel Aviv and Ankara," Casin said, referring to the agreement.
He also stressed the significance of the agreement in terms of contributing to regional security.
"As far as the Middle East region's peace and stability are concerned, the agreement could help Russia, Turkey and Israel cooperate in order to tackle Daesh (ISIL/ISIS/Islamic State) terrorism," he said.
He added that additionally, the reconciliation deal will almost certainly add considerably to developing trade and economic ties between Israel and Turkey, including in the oil and gas sector.
