Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan plan to meet this Friday in the Russian resort of Sochi. The talks are to begin around 2 p.m. CEST, the Turkish presidential palace said Thursday.

According to the Kremlin, possible sales of combat drones by NATO member Turkey are also on the agenda. Turkish sources did not confirm this for now. The communications ministry said that current global and regional issues would be discussed. In addition to the war in Ukraine, Turkish plans for a new offensive in northern Syria are also likely to be discussed. Moscow has recently clearly advised against this.

Erdogan had already said shortly after the start of the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine that he would not rule out arms deals with Russia. Russia is interested, for example, in the Turkish Bayraktar TB2 combat drone successfully used by the Ukrainian military. Putin had suggested working with Turkey on the Baykar drones, Erdogan said, according to the CNN Türk channel.


Hehehe. I almost would wish Turkey does sell Russia drones, only so that politicians in Western NATO capitals see their stupid facial expressions in the newspaper next day. I wpoudl cut them out and hang them up in a long line on my wall, and whenever I am in an angry mood again I look at them and then can laugh again. More stupid Western dreams busting. Turkey also pushes escalation with Greece over Greece Aegean islands and gas fields at Cyprus to extremes not seen since decades between the two countries.



Wait for the thunderous tirades from Brussels! That will put grins on my face.
