Cavusoglu states absence of barriers to export of grain from Russia

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said that there are currently no barriers to export of grain from Russia.

"Products exported by Russia are not included in the sanctions list, but as we have already said, there are restrictions, such as the ability of ships to receive service in ports, insurance [of ships] and banking operations. When Russia complained about these issues, I contacted [ US Secretary of State Anthony] Blinken and UN Secretary General [Antonio] Guterres by phone. Later, Blinken, the US administration and the UN Secretary General made statements. Despite this, there are ships and transport companies that are hesitant to transport Russian grain, but there are no obstacles. At present, Russia can also export its products," the Turkish Foreign Minister told reporters in Ankara.

Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that the West does not fulfill its promises to implement part of the memorandum between the Russian Federation and the UN and does not lift logistical sanctions that prevent deliveries of Russian grain and fertilizers to the markets.

On July 22, a package of documents on the supply of food and fertilizers to international markets was signed in Istanbul.
