🇷🇺🇹🇷📞 President of Russia Vladimir Putin and President of Türkiye Recep Tayyip Erdogan held a telephone conversation.
The Presidents reaffirmed their intention to further develop comprehensive cooperation between Russia and Türkiye. Their priorities include energy cooperation, in part, supplies of Russian natural gas and the creation of a regional gas hub in Türkiye.
The Presidents continued exchanging views on the developments around Ukraine. They reviewed the exchange of POWs, primarily the wounded, at Türkiye’s initiative and with account for the recent meetings of the Russian and Ukrainian human rights commissioners in Ankara.
Vladimir Putin emphasised the Kiev regime’s destructive policy of continuing to intensify the hostilities with the support of its Western sponsors, which are still sending more arms and combat equipment to Ukraine. Kiev’s hypocritical policy is illustrated by its refusal to accept a proposal on a ceasefire during the Orthodox Christmas.
The Presidents discussed the implementation of the Istanbul package agreements of July 22, 2022, on Ukrainian grain exports from Black Sea ports and the unblocking of food and fertiliser shipments from Russia.
In addition, the Presidents discussed ways to normalise relations between Türkiye and Syria, including Ankara’s initiative to launch consultations with the participation of Russian, Türkish and Syrian representatives. They also noted the practical importance of joint efforts by Russia, Türkiye and Iran to promote Syrian settlement in the context of the Astana agreements.

🇷🇺🇹🇷 On September 4, President of Russia Vladimir Putin and President of Türkiye Recep Tayyip Erdogan held talks in Sochi.
💬 Vladimir Putin: We continue to maintain the momentum in promoting relations between Russia and Türkiye, facilitated by your direct involvement. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that last year our trade increased by over 80 percent. This positive trend spilled over into the first half of this year.
We have made headway, and I hope that we will complete our talks on establishing a gas hub in Türkiye in the near future, so as to make the energy situation in the region more stable and well-balanced. I believe that this will prove beneficial.
We continue to build the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant. Today, Türkiye has become a member of the international club of nuclear states, following the delivery of the first batch of Russian nuclear fuel to Akkuyu. We will launch the first power unit next year, all goes according to plan.
We have a lot to discuss in the context of maintaining regional security. Of course, we will not overlook issues linked with the Ukraine crisis. I know that you intend to raise questions about the grain deal. We are open to talks on this issue.

🇷🇺🇹🇷 President of Russia Vladimir Putin and President of the Republic of Türkiye Recep Tayyip Erdogan held a joint news conference following talks in Sochi (September 4, 2023)
💬 Vladimir Putin: I want to note that Russia-Türkiye multifaceted cooperation, which is based on neighbourliness, partnership and mutual benefit, is successfully developing across all areas.
👉 We paid great attention to current international issues, in particular to the situation around Ukraine. Naturally, we talked about the suspension from July 18 of the Black Sea Initiative on grain exports from Ukrainian ports.
Russia was forced to make this decision because the Western countries had blocked the part of fulfilling the grain deal that ensured Russian agricultural products access to global markets.
It is clear that suspending the deal did not affect the global food market. Grain prices continue to decline. There is no physical shortage of food. Yes, there are problems with fair distribution, but this has nothing to do with the grain deal.
We will be willing to consider the possibility of resuming the grain deal and will do it immediately, as soon as all the agreements set out in that deal on lifting the restrictions on the export of Russian agricultural products are fully implemented.
🇷🇺 Russia will continue to export food and fertiliser, to contribute to price stabilisation and to improve the situation in global agricultural industry. To this end, we have proposed, among other things, to supply one million tonnes of grain from Russia at a preferential price for processing in Türkiye and then transporting it without cost to the neediest countries.

🇷🇺🇹🇷📞 During the phone conversation President of Russia Vladimir Putin and President of Türkiye Recep Tayyip Erdogan continued to discuss the acute crisis in the Middle East.
Deep concern was expressed over the growing number of civilian casualties and the catastrophic deterioration of the humanitarian situation in Gaza, and it was underscored that striking residential areas, religious and social facilities was unacceptable.
The Presidents reviewed the active efforts undertaken by Russia at the UN Security Council, as well as the corresponding political and diplomatic steps taken by Türkiye to stop the bloodshed and ensure the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid to those in need.
☝️ It was emphasised that Russia and Türkiye have practically overlapping positions, focused on implementing the well-known two-state solution, which provides for the creation of an independent Palestine coexisting with Israel in peace and security.
In addition, issues related to the accelerating pace of mutually beneficial bilateral cooperation in various fields were touched upon.
🤝 Vladimir Putin congratulated Recep Tayyip Erdogan on the upcoming centenary of the Republic of Türkiye and wished all its citizens well-being and prosperity.

🇷🇺🇹🇷 President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin met with President of the Republic of Türkiye Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Astana.
💬 Vladimir Putin: Mr President, we maintain regular contact, discussing developments between our two countries, the situation in the region, and in the world. However, we have not seen each other for a long time. I am delighted to see you again.
I would like to note that relations between Russia and Türkiye are progressing despite the current challenges in the world. The last few months saw a slight decline in trade, but it still remains relatively high: US$55 billion, if we count in US dollars.
All our large projects are being implemented on schedule. There are no delays. I would like to note last year the Russian tourist flow in Turkiye was record high with 6.3 million of our tourists visiting Türkiye. I would like to express my gratitude for the conditions the country has created for Russian tourists.
