How to interpret the meeting between the Russian and Turkish foreign ministers? Italics by Giuseppe Gagliano

What are your assessments regarding the meeting between the Russian Foreign Minister Sergej Lavrov and the Turkish Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu?

Firstly, Turkey always denotes its relevance in the political and diplomatic context at the international level, as evidenced by the fact that one of the items on the agenda is the opening of a corridor in the Black Sea for the export of Ukrainian wheat. .

Secondly, the conversation between the two ministers also concerns the Syrian question, and more specifically two areas that are particularly important for the projection of Turkish power in an anti-Kurdish function: namely the areas of Tall Rifaat and Manbij.

Thirdly, the fact that the Turkish Foreign Minister has defined the removal of sanctions against Russia as legitimate demonstrates the alignment between Turkey and Russia, but also demonstrates – for the umpteenth time – how Turkish foreign policy is geometric variable, since Turkey is a NATO member as well as being an ally of the USA.

Fourthly, with respect to the peace plan presented by Italy, Turkey is demonstrating a certainly greater credibility on the Ukrainian issue at the international level.

Finally – as we mentioned earlier – this agreement between Turkey and Russia demonstrates once again the centrality of the Syrian theater , which is important not only for Turkey but also for Israel .
