Putin to visit Türkiye – Ankara

RT

Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s office said that an agreement was reached during the phone call between the two

Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to visit Türkiye, the office of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday, without naming the specific date.

In a statement, the office said that the two leaders spoke on the phone, reaching an agreement on Putin’s visit to the country. It added that they also discussed the UN- and Türkiye-mediated grain deal to unblock agricultural export via the Black Sea. Moscow withdrew from the agreement last month, describing it as a “one-sided game” and pointing to the West’s failure to meet its longstanding demands, including lifting sanctions that hinder its agricultural exports.

Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov confirmed that Putin and Erdogan held phone talks – the first since late June – but has yet to confirm that the Russian leader will visit Türkiye.
