Russian Upper House Speaker Says Discussed Ukraine, Syria, Middle East With Erdogan
08:44 28.02.2025 (Updated: 08:45 28.02.2025) ISTANBUL (Sputnik) - The Russian upper house speaker was on an official visit to Turkey on February 26-27. She met with Erdogan on Thursday.
Russian Federation Council Speaker Valentina Matvienko said she discussed Syria, the Middle East, and Ukraine with Turkish President
Recep Tayyip Erdogan. "We exchanged questions on Syria, the Middle East, and Ukraine," Matvienko told reporters.
A significant point of concern for Matvienko was Ukraine's actions regarding global
energy security.
"I voiced our concern that the Kiev regime continues its destructive activities aimed at destroying global energy security. Attempts to damage the infrastructure, including the Turkish Stream and the Gas Stream, continue. I asked to draw the Turkish side's attention to this," she said.
Aside from that, Matvienko noted that there are no contacts between the lawmakers of
Russia and the United States now, but time for an equal dialogue will come one day.
During their meeting, President Erdogan also conveyed a personal message to Russian President Vladimir Putin through Matvienko. He asked her to extend an invitation, expressing that President Putin is highly anticipated to visit Turkey.
