Expressing Putin’s interest in meeting his Turkish counterpart

According to RCO News Agency, “Vladimir Putin”, the President of Russia, in a meeting with “Numan Kurtolmoş”, the Speaker of the Turkish Parliament, expressed his desire to meet with the President of Turkey at the upcoming BRICS meeting in Kazan, Russia.

According to the report of the Russian “Tass” News agency, Putin told Kurtulmus on Wednesday evening: “Please convey my best wishes to the President of Türkiye Mr. Erdogan. I look forward to meeting him in Russia, in Kazan. “I think on October 23, we have a bilateral meeting scheduled.”

Valentina Matvinko, head of the Council of the Russian Federation, will also participate in this meeting.

Earlier, the speaker of the Turkish parliament told Tass that he planned to hold talks with the Russian leader, but the Kremlin had not announced the meeting in advance, although it said the Russian head of state had planned an international meeting.

Earlier, Kurtolmus met with “Vyacheslav Volodin”, the head of the Russian State Duma. 2

The politician talked about the cooperation between the two countries and noted that the high level of trust between Moscow and Ankara was made possible, among other things, by the good personal relations between the leaders of the two countries, that is, Putin and Erdogan.

Relations between Russia and Türkiye are developing rapidly. Ankara is one of the three largest trading partners of Moscow.

On the other hand, following Türkiye’s official request to join BRICS, the president of this country has criticized the Western countries.

In this regard, Erdoğan emphasized in an interview: “Our relations with Russia are multi-dimensional and have political, economic, cultural and military industries. There are many dimensions in these relations of ours, and we have had daily interaction and solidarity, including economically, which has continued and these relations are expanding.

On the other hand, last week, the Turkish president said: “Turkey will not stop deepening relations with the East, including the BRICS group of countries and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, even if it continues to interact with the West.”

BRICS was established in 2006 by Brazil, Russia, India and China, and South Africa joined it in 2011. The group expanded this year when Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates became full members. According to Ushakov, more than 30 countries have officially applied to join.

The next meeting of the BRICS summit will be held on October 22-24 (November 1st-3rd) in Kazan, Russia, and the heads of the BRICS member states, including Iran’s President Masoud Al-Madijian, and the heads of countries that want to join this group, will attend the said meeting. did
