Can Turkey and Russia resolve their dispute?

They are on opposite sides in the war in Syria, but have largely steered clear of each other.

That all changed on Tuesday, when Turkey shot down a Russian fighter jet – which it says entered its air space and was warned repeatedly.

But Russia says its pilots received no warning, and denied straying into Turkish air space.

Relations between the two countries have sharply deteriorated since then.

Russia has now imposed a series of economic sanctions against Turkey.

So, with tension running high, can Moscow and Ankara resolve their dispute? And how will this impact the war in Syria?
