Ankara, Moscow call for the lifting of barriers to Russian grain and fertiliser exports following a meeting between Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu and his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in Ankara
Cavusoglu said he had also discussed with Lavrov an upcoming quadrilateral foreign ministers' meeting including Iran and Syria.
"The grain corridor is proof that dialogue and negotiation are working. We attach importance to the continuation of the agreement. This is also important in terms of reducing the world food crisis," "We agree that the barriers to Russian grain and exports should also be removed. We support efforts to remove these barriers," he added. He added that more than 27 million tonnes of grain have been carried by 866 ships via the Black Sea grain corridor deal, which Türkiye helped broker last year in a bid to avert a potential food crisis amid the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
