Today, two Ropucha class landing ship from Russian Navy passed through Bosphorus for their Syrian deployment.
Unfortunately I was not able to identify the ships as I watched them through the web cam. I appreciate any information regarding these ships.
UPDATE: These ships are Georgiy Pobedonosets and Azov. Here is a photo gallery of them passing through the Dardanelles the other day.

Large landing ship (BDK) Baltic Fleet “Minsk” and the Black Sea BDK “Yamal” Tuesday overcame the Bosphorus and entered the operational control of a permanent task force of the Russian Navy in the Mediterranean.
YAMAL later was corrected as AZOV
These are the BDK Minsk and the BDK Azov:
