Turkey and Russia to Sign Grain Deal

Turkey is part of NATO.  NATO nations are basically at war with Russia.  What NATO nation would be willing to meet with Putin and come up with a business deal?  That’d be Turkey.  Why? Because Russia and Turkey are named players in Ezekiel 38.  If we are near the end, and we are, headlines like this are expected.

*********************************

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet soon to discuss the resumption of the grain deal, both Ankara and Moscow have confirmed, as well as efforts to end the Russian-Ukrainian war that has been continuing since February 2022.

Ömer Çelik, the spokesman of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) has announced that Erdoğan is planning to go to Russia’s resort city of Sochi very soon to meet Russian President Putin. Çelik said the two sides are working on fixing a date for the meeting.

Dmitry Peskov, the spokesman of Kremlin, told reporters in Moscow that a meeting between the two men was being prepared intensively.

The diplomatic sources believe that Erdoğan-Putin meeting will take place before the G20 Summit slated to happen in India on Sept. 9 and 10.

Çelik said Türkiye’s main objective was to avoid a global food crisis and therefore Erdoğan’s visit to Sochi will focus on finding a formula for the resumption of the grain deal. Russia canceled the grain deal on July 17 as it could not export its grain, fertilizers and other products due to the secondary sanctions on shipment, banking and insurance.

As a result of the efforts by Türkiye and the United Nations, an agreement for the transportation of Russian and Ukrainian grain was reached in July 2022 and more than 33 million tons of wheat, corn and other food products were shipped to the global markets and the needy countries.
