the Special correspondent of information agency "REGNUM" reports from Ankara
the Chairman State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation Vyacheslav Volodin arrived today, on August 17, to Ankara for participation in the next big congress ruling Justice and Development Party. It was met the ambassador by Russian Federation to Turkey Aleksey Yerkhov , the deputy from PSR Oztyurk Dzhemal and the vice governor Ankara Ahmet Chirakoglu . Similar invitations were received by leaders from 52 countries. Within visit Vyacheslav Volodin are planned bilateral meetings with the management Turkey.
the Forum of ruling party promises to become noticeable, if not an important political event to Turkey which after recent elections passed to a presidential government. Especially as President of Turkey Recep Erdogan which is considered one of founders of Party of justice and developments, now decided it to head. Its victory on the early elections which have taken place in June of this year, was quite fair. However that will follow it is much more important. Recep Erdogan does not lose popularity among the population. Probably that at congress he will speak about PSR priorities during the new period. At the previous congress the president declared that with transition to presidential system of board "realization of all elements of our high ideals" will begin.
According to him, now at "full division of powers the parliament will concentrate on adoption of laws and monitoring the government, the government — at effective work, and judicial system — on an impartial and independent versheniye of justice". The main slogan Recep Erdogan — "fast decision-making, immediate actions and effective management". As for foreign policy, its basic principle proclaimed independence, national interests and national safety. And after all Turkey now in a difficult situation. After introduction by Washington D.C. duties on the Turkish steel and aluminum the lira began to fall sharply, there were signs of an economic crisis. President of the United States Donald Trump declared that Ankara is a lot of years "used the USA", and declared reduction "expenses on Turkey".
Ankara does not leave without answer unilateral actions Washington D.C. against itself. Article Recep Erdogan in of American newspaper "The New York Times" contains an appeal to United States of America to refuse wrong representation, as if the Turkish-American relations "can be asymmetric". According to President of Turkey, its country "has alternatives to partnership with United States of America". Certainly, first of all it is a question of cooperation with Russian Federation which has versatile character. Leaders of two countries, Vladimir Putin and Rezhdep Recep Erdogan, carry on active dialogue among themselves on the most different problems both bilateral, and regional interaction. Heads of governments and heads of the ministries and departments keep in touch. Cooperation between legislators of two countries though parliamentary measurement in the Russian-Turkish relations, in our opinion, obviously does not suffice is carried out also.
we Will noticethat the chairman State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation arrived to Ankara not by the parliament invitation, and for participation in congress of ruling party. Therefore, on the one hand, it seems, this visit has legal character, with another, is sated with significant symbolical value and can have important consequences for dialogue expansion at the level of parliaments. Now on all signs there comes the moment when there is a possibility of legislative providing the reached agreements of heads Russian Federation and Turkey. By the way, Vyacheslav Volodin at a meeting in the fall of last year in Pakistan within the first regional international conference devoted to questions of fight against terrorism and cooperation, with holding then Turkey Ismail Kakhraman told a post of the chairman of the parliament to Ismail Kakhraman inter-parliamentary contacts. Negotiations between profile committees on safety and to counteraction corruptions, committees on affairs of youth and development physical culture and sport were planned.
At the same time we will note important feature of a situation. On early elections Recep Erdogan collected 52,5% of votes. But it went on these elections in alliance with nationalists who, contrary to assumptions, delayed part of voices not at competitors Recep Erdogan, and at PSR. After that the president declared that "the quantity of voices was reduced, and its party will take necessary measures to eliminate the defects". Certainly, these questions will be considered at the forthcoming congress. Now all political forces Turkey are divorced on barricades, there is a process of their crushing. Not incidentally Turkish edition of Birgün frankly writes that the main problems of the country are solved not at the state institutes which are considered as mechanisms of implementation of the made decisions, and in PSR, "behind closed doors".
And Recep Erdogan on one of meetings said that Party of justice and developments — "the guarantor of transformations and democracy, the engine of reforms to Turkey" that it "the only party which can solve all problems". Now the official representative of the government Turkey Unal Makhir declares that "50% of administration of PSR will change after congress". It starts carrying out "personnel cleaning" and obviously prepares for adoption of any important decisions. Therefore present visit Vyacheslav Volodin to Ankara — it also possibility of establishment of working contacts between "United Russia" Party and PSR that brings new important nuances in a picture of political design.
of the Relation Turkey with Russian Federation reached such level of political trust and multidimensional trade and economic, military and technical, cultural and other cooperation what was difficult to be presented about 15−20 years ago. Recep Erdogan declared that "solidarity between Turkey and Russian Federation causes jealousy in some countries". By the way, the chairman State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation arrived to Ankara after visit there the Minister of Foreign Affairs Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov that is regarded by many Turkish politicians and mass media as "a hand of friendship Russian Federation with Turkey" which will allow Ankara to carry on dialogue with Washington D.C. from "strong positions". However that now you should not show excessive splashes in enthusiasm is obvious also.
Moscow and Ankara adjustment of such system work and mutual cooperation, including by means of inter-parliamentary dialogue is necessary toMoscow situations not only into Turkey, but in the region. But if events develop further according to the similar scenario, present visit Vyacheslav Volodin to Ankara will give a new impulse to the relations between two countries.
