And Turkey could be among most prospective partners for Russia following the SPIEF ambitions. Today Ankara\u2019s major interest is to provide permanent gas flows through the Turkish Stream. On the other side, Turkey, a NATO\u2019s member, has been manipulated by the United States for years following Washington\u2019 efforts to sign a deal with Ankara on U.S. natural compress gas (GNC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the recent tensions between Biden and Erdogan on Ankara\u2019s recognition of the atrocities committed against the Armenian people in 1915&nbsp;as genocide as well as the recent criticism of Erdogan towards the U.S. on the Gaza-Israeli conflict have been a sore spot between the countries placing their further economic and political cooperation in question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This explains why Turkey has been seeking a closer cooperation with Russia, Iran, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan to support the Turkish Stream supplies. The pipeline, which transits the Black Sea, took five years to complete and is one of two major new natural-gas export routes totaling nearly $20 billion. Russia on its parts also expects to go on line this year and the SPIEF is likely to become a platform for developing further economic cooperation and trade ties between Turkey and Russia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Saint Petersburg Economic Forum to be held in Russia on June 2-5 is the first post pandemic global event that is focused to gather international delegations from the U.S., Germany, Italy, China, South Asia and the Middle East.
