The Turkish President made a statement regarding the resumption of the grain deal in a new format.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan spoke on this topic after talks with Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the SCO summit in Astana (Kazakhstan).

Ankara is in favor of reviving the grain deal, but in a modified format, TASS reports.

Erdogan proposed organizing a grain corridor through Turkey to supply agricultural products to African countries and other regions where the issue of food security is acute.

The president of the republic said that he outlined his plan to Putin during negotiations in Astana.

Erdogan claims that the Russian leader responded positively to his idea.

Putin liked the option of refusing to supply grain to the West. Instead, Russia and Türkiye will focus on the African direction.

The Turkish leader stressed that the issue would be further developed and expressed hope that the Black Sea grain corridor would be revived.

Earlier, the economist explained whether Russians should now buy an apartment with a mortgage.
