Russian President Vladimir Putin awkwardly left waiting alone ahead of the meeting with Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan, as seen in the clip that became viral. The meeting in Iran was the first MR Putin with the leader of the NATO alliance since Russia invaded Ukraine at the end of February. Erdogan seems late for a meeting with Russian leaders and that’s when it was arrested.Putin entered the room where the meeting was scheduled to take place, but no one was present to welcome him.
The video shows the restless Russian leader for 50 seconds in front of his chair and two national flags, his hands gripped, his mouth twitching and his attitude shifted before Erdogan appeared. Mr. Putin then raised his hand to the side.
“Hello, how are you, right?” Erdogan said when they then smiled at each other and shook hands.Mr Putin is known for making world leaders wait (several for hours). Turkish media speculates may be a return for the 2020 meeting in Moscow when Erdogan was left waiting for about two minutes by Russian leaders before the meeting.
The T24 Turkish website asks in the main headline: “Is that revenge?”This clip also produces many online buzzs. “The 50 seconds that Erdogan made Putin wait, looking tired in front of the camera, saying a lot about how much has changed after Ukraine,” Joyce Karam, a senior correspondent in the Middle Eastern Media Organization, National News, said in a Twitter post.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February has killed thousands of people and replaced millions of people, but also hampered the delivery of one of the largest wheat exporters in the world and other seeds, triggering fears of lack of global food.
Putin, in Tehran for talks with his colleague Turki Erdogan, on Tuesday said “progress” had been carried out in a discussion to the export of seeds from Ukraine.After speaking with Erdogan and Iranian president, Russian leaders told reporters that any agreement depends on Western willingness to produce several bases.
