ERDOĞAN CALLS ON ALL PARTIES TO RESPECT THE GRAIN DEAL THEY SIGNED

Tue 27 July 2022:

Türkiye’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Monday called on all parties that signed the Ukraine grain deal to respect the deal they have signed.

“We expect everyone to take ownership of their signatures and act in accordance with their responsibilities,” Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in a live interview with national broadcaster TRT Haber.

“With this agreement, the effects of the global food crisis, which is reaching serious dimensions, will begin to ease,” he added.

On Friday, Türkiye, the UN, Russia, and Ukraine signed a landmark deal to resume grain exports through the Ukrainian ports of Odesa, Chernomorsk and Yuzhny after months of blockage due to the Russia-Ukraine war, now in its sixth month.

Under the deal, a joint coordination center was set up in Istanbul to carry out inspections at the entrances and exits of harbors, and to ensure the safety of the routes.

Addressing Russia’s weekend attack on the port of Odesa, Erdogan said it “saddens” Türkiye, adding that “a failure here would work against all of us.”

The President also talked about the terrorism issues in the Middle East, saying that Syria has become “home of terrorist groups”.

He added that both Russia and Iran should take a stand against this terrorism.
