Taking a sip. I want to get acquainted with the youngest winemakers in russia, i became interested in winemaking when i was 12 years old, my father instilled this in me, my grandparents were moonshine brewers, so i think it all started from this, winemaking has a million options, you can be as creative as you like you have enough fantasies, energy that charges and gives inspiration for new ones, new achievements and exploits. Turkey remains a member of ankara on the sidelines of the International ValdaiDiscussion Club , professor told our channel mtp university, hasan unal. Mr. Unal, of course, my first question is about the relations between russia and turkey, now they are going through difficult times, because turkey is a member of nato and russias nato relations are in the deepest crisis, but on the other hand, moscow. Has very close ties in various fields economics, culture, politics, the heads of state are very close and always say that there are strategic ties between us. Do you think that we can overcome all the difficulties of the present moment and maybe we should to do to bring our country even closer together. To begin with, i would say that many difficulties have already been overcome thanks to the very cautious policy pursued by the turks from the very beginning of the war, even throughout several. Tangible changes seemed to make ankara realize that war was almost inevitable. Perhaps they also came to the conclusion that if war broke out, it would be stupid to join the sanctions that the west was going to impose against russia, because this is how the collective west was used to reacting, so in such a situation turkey formed a policy of equal distance from moscow and kiev, but in reality this meant a completely. Prorussian policy, there is a conflict, in which one side is clearly stronger than the other, and you take a position or pursue a policy of equal distance to both sides, and it is quite obvious, that this would mean a prorussian position, since turkey is a nato member, at first glance it may seem surprising that a nato member country could behave this way, but do not forget that turkey does not so much consume the security provided by nato membership as contributes to the security of the alliance. It is a major member of nato, with the second Largest Military force, second only to the united states. In such a situation and taking into account the strategic location of the country, it is possible to pursue such a policy of juggling, as i call it. Its like the art of a juggler. On the one hand, you remain a member of nato. You continue to maintain excellent connections with your partners as much as possible. And if one of them doesnt like turkeys relations, then you say this is not an easy life, i intend to do this because it replies. Good relations with russia and at the same time you turn away from the collective west, as you call it, or vice versa , that is why i call it the politics of juggling, the art of the juggler. I recently published a small article in the gazette, which i called the art of juggling. For many, this may seem surprising, but this does not surprise those who understand even a little about turkish politics. Even at the height of the cold war, turkey again built optimal ties with the soviet union, until 1984 years for almost two decades, especially in the field of economics and trade. Turkey benefited greatly from such relations, developing its heavy industry through cooperation with the soviet union. At that time, the soviet leaders thought that they could withdraw turkey from nato by working with it on this issue, but this did not happen, and this did not mean that turkey was using the soviet union, it turns out that you can remain a member of nato at the same time have good relations with soviet. This was during the cold war era, in in a multipolar world, such policies can be pursued at a much deeper level. About a month ago, the turkish president came to sochi to meet with the russian president and discuss mainly the grain deal. At the end of the negotiations, he spoke publicly, saying that he understood russias concerns about the grain deal and the way it was implemented. And then speaking. Un in new york, mr. Erdogan also said that there are a number of concerns that should at least be acknowledged, and that perhaps we should talk and communicate. Do you think the grain deal will be reinstated at some point . When the president of turkey came here last month, i think they discussed various topics, and the grain deal was just one of them. After meeting at a press conference, the turkish and russian president s told the press that they had held indepth discussions on a wide range of different issues. But the most important thing is that there was no one area of serious disagreement; they seemed to Reach Agreement on all the topics that were discussed, and the grain deal was one of them. In fact, the grain deal was concluded last year thanks to the serious efforts of turkey; all negotiations took place in istanbul; the russian and ukrainian participants never communicated directly, only through turkish intermediaries. As things stood, it was arguably the most successful deal since the start of the war, it was a major diplomatic success, it was a great deal, especially in trying to stop the rise in food prices that the west was complaining about. You know, we have already become experts in western lies. The west can communicate with you, make some promises, as they did in relations with soviet and russian leaders , regarding the nonpromotion of nato in the late nineties and the first time after the collapse of the ussr, and then they said that this was not what they meant. Yes, we talked about this, the russians got the impression that that was it. It was like that, but everything has changed, the same thing constantly happens between turkeys western partners, so i would say that judging by their behavior, after the conclusion of the grain deal, they began to retreat from their own promises. Several times russia suspended the deal and withdrew from it, and each time it was president erdogan and turkish intervention that brought russia back, and thanks to this, the deal lasted almost a year, but each time president erdogan stated that he sympathized with. Russian concerns, because russia quite rightly points out that one side of the agreement is not being implemented while russia allows the export of ukrainian grain. After all, turkey imported quite a large portion russian grain. And i am sure they will import even more, because we need much more grain than we consume to meet the needs of the large industry for the production of flour, as well as cookies, waffles and chocolate, and pasta. In addition, i think that turkish Production Companies work on the basis of contracts for their western european partners, so production volumes are quite large, turkey needs more and more grain, both from ukraine and from russia. Also, heres what comes to mind mr. Lavrov was here yesterday, and he outlined the russian position quite clearly. He said that russia will not accept any deal in which some investment company, an investment bank, will handle payments. Russia is not a company, russia is a state and transactions must be carried out properly. I understand it. In such a situation, i do not see the possibility of reviving the grain deal in the same form with the same content. What can be done . The only thing i can say is that not a single turkish representative has spoken on this matter, this is my personal opinion. Turkiye in as a result, it can purchase both russian and ukrainian grain and resell it to everyone. See what i mean . I think its sami. A practical proposition, but will they buy it . I wont ask for money for my idea, but its the only practical thing in my opinion, lets see how it works, thanks. Please, now some footage from the president ial press service. Ladies and gentlemen, it is an honor to greet the distinguished president of the Russian Federation, his representative Vladimir Vladimirovich putin, ask him give a speech. Thank you, dear madam Prime Minister, dear mr. Grossia, dear friends. I would like to warmly welcome all participants in today s ceremony on the occasion of the delivery of nuclear fuel to the rupo npp site and congratulate them on a new significant stage in the construction of the First Nuclear power plant in the peoples republic of bangladesh. This flagship project meets the interests of the two countries, contributes to the further deepening of mutually beneficial cooperation, and, of course, makes a real, significant contribution to the development economy, strengthening the Energy Security of the republic. I would like to note that bangladesh is our longtime friend and good partner, with whom we interact on the principles of equality, Mutual Respect and taking into account each others interests. The foundations of russianbangladeshi relations were laid more than half a century ago, when in the early seventies the soviet union supported the people of east bengal in their struggle for independence, and then in the formation of the new state of bangladesh. Our country was one of the first to recognize the young republic, took an active part in the development of its economy, helped build Large Industrial and Energy Facilities that. Continue to benefit the bangladeshi people. As is well known, last year marked the Fiftieth Anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations, as well as the historic visit to moscow of the first Prime Minister of bangladesh, the father of the bangladeshi nation, sheikh mujabur rahman. He did a lot for the comprehensive development of cooperation between our two countries. And you, dear mrs. Sheikhana, are responsible as Prime Minister of bangladesh, you are successfully and honorably continuing the work of your father; one of the clear evidence of the Progressive Development of russianbangladesh relations is the implementation of the largest joint project to build a russiandesigned Nuclear Power plant in bangladesh in the province of pabna. Let me remind you that the Rosatom Corporation began construction of this Nuclear Power plant in 2013, already in 2017, after carrying out largescale survey and preparatory work, pouring began on the banks of the great ganges River Foundation at the base of the first block of the Nuclear Power plant, i would like to emphasize that throughout the entire construction of the station, mrs. Sheikhasina and i constantly kept, and continue to keep, the implementation of the repur project under personal control. Rosatom is building two power units at once on generation 3 reactors, with a total capacity, colleagues have already spoken about this, 2,400 mw, in order to physically launch the first unit as early as next 2024, and the second in 2025. After reaching full design capacity, the station will be able provide about 10 of bangladeshs energy consumption, 10 is a large amount, satisfy the energy needs of the growing bangladeshi economy and thereby reduce the countrys dependence on coal and gas generation. Which will allow optimizing the National Energy balance, and of course, the new npp will not emit Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere, which will have a beneficial effect on the environment, on human health, and on the health of the nation. Russian and bangladeshi engineers, nuclear scientists, builders, workers work harmoniously, amicably, and npp construction is progressing according to schedule. More than 2,000 people are involved in construction every day, most of whom, as we have already said, are citizens of bangladesh, these are just. Jobs created in connection with the repur project. This project provides related orders to many, many bangladeshi enterprises, increasing employment throughout the country. Local contractors are hired to carry out construction and installation work, supply materials, provide transport and other services. In addition, assistance in the implementation of the project is provided. And now only our indian friends, whose companies are involved in construction on a subcontract basis, also said this. Rusatom, as a recognized Global Leader in the field of nervous atom , uses the most advanced Engineering Solutions and technologies based on the most stringent safety standards, environmental and environmental requirements when constructing Nuclear Power plants. The construction of the station and its preparation for operation are carried out in strict compliance with the rules and recommendations of magata. I think that mr. Grossi, who is taking part in our ceremony, can testify that that the physical Protection System provided on the horn is reliable and modern. We would like to thank magathe for supporting this work. And of course, russia is not easy. Build the station, we will provide assistance to bangladeshi partners throughout the entire life cycle of the nuclear project, including obligations for the longterm supply of reactor fuel, Nuclear Power plant maintenance, and spent Nuclear Material management. As part of cooperation on the rupur project, the russian side is preparing specialized highly qualified for the nuclear industry, more than eighty bangladeshi students have already received Nuclear Education in our universities, their number will certainly grow in the future, we are essentially creating not just a Nuclear Power plant, we are creating bangladesh, together with you, dear friends, an entire Nuclear Power plant industry, the Peaceful Nuclear industry, and since last year , an educational and Training Center for bangladeshi operating personnel has been operating at the Nuclear Power plant site. The specialists trained within its walls will to provide basic technological processes at the station; to date, more than a thousand bangladeshis have completed such training. Thanks to the valuable professional skills and knowledge acquired, they can be in demand not only in the nuclear industry, but also in many other industries. Colleagues will be given a certificate for the delivery of Russian Nuclear fuel to power unit number 1 of as rupur, after which rupur will receive the official status of a nuclear facility. I would like to once again express my gratitude to madam Prime Minister for big. Attention to our bilateral cooperation, both in the Peaceful Nuclear field and in all other key areas, thank you very much, dear mr. Prime minister, madam Prime Minister, i would like to wish all russian and bangladeshi colleagues and friends further success. All the best to you and thank you for your attention. Thank you, your excellency, your excellency, dear ladies and gentlemen, i have the honor to ask madam Prime Minister of the peoples republic of bangladesh, her excellency, to make a speech. The general director of the state corporation rusatom, all our colleagues, all those invited to the ceremony. I warmly welcome you. Everyone present at the ceremony dedicated to the Nuclear Fuel Plant at the rupur Nuclear Power plant. Sincere thanks to all of you. Today is a source of special pride and joy for the people of bangladesh. The delivery of nuclear fuel from sruppur, which was the result of the tireless work of the avamelik government, allowed us today to achieve a new result in the construction of stations. I would like to honor with deep respect on this significant day memory of the best bengali of all time, father of the nation bongonda sheikh bujaburahman, also four national leaders, 3 million heroes for independence, 2000 humiliated mothers and sisters, i also thank the government and the people of the friendly Russian Federation, which provided us with the necessary assistance. Went to russia on a historic visit, yes, this, we remember this, today, an important historical day, i want to remind you that after gaining independence, the father of the nation in just 9 months managed to give bangladesh a constitution, and there in the sixteenth paragraph of that constitution, under the headings of Village Development , revolution of agriculture. For a qualitative change in the standard of living of rural residents through a revolution in agriculture, electrification of villages, development of handicraft and other types of production, as well as improving education, transport accessibility of healthcare, and sheikh muzhiburakhman wanted to build a Nuclear Power plant in bangladesh with the help of russia. It was with the help of russia and the steps that the father of the nation took that helped us begin the implementation of the project, and i also want to remember the outstanding Nuclear Physicist wazed miyu, who was appointed by bur rahman, was the first head of the aisrupur project, but unfortunately, this did not work out. We remain committed to the concept of vision 2021 and have developed a road map in the field, including nuclear energy. In 1996, the construction project began. We have developed it. With the help of magatha, and with the sincere support from magatha, we were able to develop a Clear Program of action in nuclear energy, and despite the fact that we were not able to complete this project then, bring it to its logical completion, we returned to power again in 2008, and announced the concept of vision 2021, again taking measures to implement the aisrur project. Friendly russia helped us in its implementation. In addition, magathy provided us with full support from the very beginning. And in this regard, i would like to thank the government of the Russian Federation, magat and everyone involved in the project. Sincere thanks to all of you. And i would especially like to express my gratitude personally to the respected president , mr. President of russia vladimir putin. Thank you very much, thank you very much. In january 2013, we met in moscow, where an agreement on the construction of the rupur Nuclear Power plant was signed in a warm, hospitable atmosphere. This project was officially opened on october 2, 2013. And to this day, this project is being implemented using the most advanced technologies and with your full support. Many thanks also to the Prime Minister of india narendra for his support also in the implementation of this project. In 2017 at the invitation of the general director. I am kimanu came to vienna on a visit and discussed the construction of stations with specialists, then i called on the specialists to ensure the highest level of safety on the project, as well as to provide comprehensive assistance and ensure proper control and monitoring, and the magistrate must give them their due, they promised full support to this day por in 20212022, at the first and second power units, the reactor vessels were installed in the design position and today nuclear fuel was delivered to this Nuclear Power plant. The Russian Federation also ensure proper training of people who will ensure the operation and protection of this Nuclear Power plant. And since there is a similar project in friendly india, since we sent some there for training. Our staff. We will use Atomic Energy to maintain peace. We also express our strong commitment to complete Nuclear Disarmament around the world and the implementation of the treaty on the prohibition of nuclear weapons. We developed a law on control in the field of nuclear energy, and also created a separate department for supervision in the field nuclear energy. And this organ. Maintains intensive contacts with magathy, and also ensures the safety of the Nuclear Plant at all levels. We have set ourselves a goal to receive electricity from the first power unit of as rupur in 2023, and from the second in 2024, we can already say that we are closer to achieving this. Soon 1200 mw of electricity from the first power unit of our station will begin to flow into the National Energy system. To manage this plant, we have created a special company, bangladesh Nuclear Power plant company. The company will carry out Nuclear Power plant management. This station is designed and built in this way. In addition, we signed an agreement with the Russian Federation on the management of spent nuclear fuel, and the Russian Federation, i emphasize, is bringing back all spent nuclear fuel. Distinguished guests, our country has overcome all adversities and today is a role model for god, so that we can fulfill bongondus dream in the near future by building a smart bangladesh with the help of young professionals. Companies, organizations, everyone is great thank you, glory benggali, glory and long live. Thank you, madam Prime Minister. Ladies and gentlemen, we now move on to the longawaited moment of todays
