Türkiye says the deal needs to be resumed by addressing deficiencies, and there’s no various as different proposals have failed to supply a “sustainable, secure and lasting” mannequin.

“We are making intense efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war, which has cost hundreds of thousands of lives. We have undertaken many diplomatic moves, from the Istanbul Process, which brought the parties around the same table, to prisoner exchanges and the Black Sea Initiative,” Erdoğan stated.

Within the framework of the Black Sea grain deal, 33 million tons of grain had been delivered to worldwide markets, Erdoğan stated, including: “Thanks to the initiative, we prevented the food crisis from deepening further.”

Türkiye will quickly convene the Food Safety Working Group to contribute to international meals safety, he added.

“We are of the opinion that any steps that may disturb the peace in the Black Sea and escalate the tension in the region should be avoided,” Erdoğan pressured.
