Erdogan: Putin could visit Turkey to open the nuclear plant
Azerbaijan will provide natural gas to Hungary via Bulgaria
The Turkish President Recep T. Erdogan announced that Russian President Vladimir Putin will visit Turkey on April 27 for the opening ceremony of Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant.
“We are successfully completing the construction of the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant.” On April 27, perhaps Mr. Putin will be there or we will connect through an online video link, and hopefully we can inaugurate the first phase of our first nuclear plant,” Erdogan said during a televised television interview.
In a post on social media yesterday, Turkish Energy and Natural Resources minister Fatih Donmez revealed: “The first fuel will arrive at our facility on 27 April.” The Akkuyu NPP being built by a Russian firm will be given the status of a Nuclear Facility.
Erdogan also announced that Turkey and Azerbaijan were ready to supply natural gases to Europe and Hungary via the TANAP transanatolian gas pipe project, via Bulgaria.
Erdogan, who was in Ankara yesterday to meet with the visiting Hungarian president Katalin Novak at a press conference, said: “At this moment we are prepared to provide any type of support to Azerbaijan concerning the supply of natural gases to Hungary through TANAP.”
The Turkish president said: “We live in a world marked by wars and crises.” In this environment, we have been able build a strong and independent Turkey, and must continue.”
Erdogan said that Turkey has fought and continues to fight to keep war away from its country.
“First, we won’t send our country to war. Second, we’ll keep the family strong. Third, we’ll be more sensitive towards immigration, especially from Syria, and will not tolerate mistreatment of immigrants.
Erdogan said that Ankara would continue to make efforts for peace between Russia and Ukraine.
The current president who is also running for the presidency in the May 14 elections, said that his party will conduct a “quiet, but thorough” election campaign to respect the suffering of earthquake victims.
“We have been preparing the elections for 2023 for 20 years. We understand the importance of our 100th anniversary as a republic to our country. We changed our election campaign because of the earthquake,” he said.

The last of Russia’s major state-owned banks, which retains access to the SWIFT system for international payments in the world’s major currencies, will become subject to new US sanctions.
The White House is considering blacklisting Gazprombank, the Russian Federation’s third-largest bank by assets, which is a “hub” for gas payments with Europe. As the Nikkei reported, citing officials familiar with the matter, GPB could be subject to blocking sanctions: it would be barred from any transactions with US banks. A decision on sanctions will be made by the end of November – the United States has notified its G7 partners about this, sources told the publication, including high-ranking European officials.
Directly owned by Gazprom with a third and another 40% by its pension fund, Gazprombank is not yet subject to strict Western restrictions: in the United States it is only prohibited from raising capital on the debt market, although its top managers and a subsidiary are subject to blocking sanctions IT company. In the European Union, GPB also avoids blacklists, and only Britain has introduced blockers against the bank.
