Crimea plans to restore direct ferry service with Turkey
Crimea expects Turkey to make a decision on resuming communications with the peninsula.
Aleksey Volkov, general director of the Crimean Sea Ports enterprise, reported this in his blog, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to him, the day before there was a meeting with Turkish freight forwarders and shipowners, during which the parties discussed logistics and the advantages of Crimean ports over the ports of neighboring regions of Russia.
“We discussed significant issues and even found pleasant preferences in Crimea, differences from Novorossiysk. No queues and no difficulties in processing and moving cargo... The nomenclature of cargo has been determined and agreed upon. Ports and services are ready. Comfortable conditions for future cooperation were provided. We are waiting for the partners’ decision and the signing of the agreement,” Volkov wrote.
Let us recall that in March last year, Turkey stopped direct ferry service with Crimea without explanation amid worsening relations with the Russian Federation. Orientalist Semyon Bagdasarov noted in one of his television broadcasts that this is due to an attempt to force Russia to sever contacts with the Syrian Kurds, who are in opposition to the Turkish government.
