US business publication Bloomberg Business writes about cooperation between Greece and Russia. Perhaps exports and imports of food products will soon be simplified between the two countries. Russia is ready to lift restrictions on Greek food, but this annoys Western states.
The member states of the European Union continue to advocate the extension of sanctions against Russia, while Greece is seeking rapprochement with Russia. The Greek leadership needs the money, the state treasury is empty, and only Moscow can pay off the accounts. Whether Russian financial assistance to Greece will happen is still unknown, but Europe feels that the concept of globalization and the single market do not stand the test of time. The EU has chosen the path of confrontation with Russia through sanctions, but ultimately this decision led to the fact that Europe is quite strongly weakened economically, while Russia has strengthened its position.
The British newspaper the Telegraph reported today that Iran's leaders are ready to turn a page in the history of Iran. The Iranian President recognizes that, despite the tough position of Western countries, the parties have every chance of reaching an agreement on Iran's nuclear program. Iran is ready to fulfill the terms of the agreement if the '5 + 1' lift all sanctions against Iran and suspicions about the development of nuclear weapons are brought to an end.
According to Western analysts, talks on Iran's nuclear program may end in failure if the parties do not agree to concessions, although this is not so easy to do, because Israel is putting pressure on the United States, for example. Despite the tensions, the international community is questioning how to regulate relations in the Middle East.
Turkish newspaper Today's Zaman writes that the Turkish Republic welcomes negotiations on the Iranian nuclear program and hopes that Iran will not stop there, but go further. The partnership between Ankara and Tehran can be very beneficial for both countries economically, as well as strategically. The lifting of sanctions will allow Turkey and Iran to strengthen their positions in the East.
Turkey at the moment feels a need to extend its range of partners, and Iran could become an indispensable ally of Turkey in the Middle East.
