Political scientist explained the benefits of Erdogan from negotiations with Putin

Andrey Chuprygin, a senior lecturer at the HSE School of Oriental Studies, disagreed with the opinion of some commentators who called the talks between Turkish President Recep Taip Erdogan and Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Sochi a “failure” due to the fact that the grain deal has not yet been resumed.

“I would not call this visit unsuccessful,” said the expert in interview NSN.

According to Chuprygin, now Erdogan will hold talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and then he will talk with the UN. Thus, the political scientist continued, “Erdogan is in the spotlight and is perceived as a locomotive” who is driving this deal.

“This is a serious addition to the political image of the President of Turkey,” Chuprygin stressed.

The expert added that the importance of this visit is that the conversation took place, and now it remains to be seen what will come of it.
