Large energy projects, including the implementation of the construction of “the Turkish stream” discussed today, President Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Baku, where the two come to the opening of the first in the history of European games.

Participation in the negotiations between Gazprom and the Ministry of Energy clearly hints that will focus on the energy, but rather on gas supplies. Although the front of the cameras, Putin and Erdogan discussed only the latest news – the opening ceremony of the first European sports games do not miss this opportunity to put in the pin against a united Europe.

“Last night was a great discovery, but drew attention to the fact that there was no one of the leaders of the European Union “, – said Erdogan.

” Turkey, as a candidate for accession to the European Union was represented by all the European Union “, – Putin said.

For some skepticism relation to the European Union Turkey and the more that Russia has a base and is more serious. That’s intransigence has forced Europe to Moscow to abandon the construction of the gas pipeline South Stream. And replace it with another project – Turkish stream will be implemented jointly with Ankara. Laying pipe across the Black Sea is expected to begin this month. And by 2019 it should go on all the gas, which is now swinging to Europe transit through Ukraine.

However, after the collapse of Brussels South Stream, he said that he had found an alternative to Russian supplies and no where else but here in Azerbaijan. So, perhaps, the gas issue, Russian President discussed in a conversation with the head of Azerbaijan. But in the presence of journalists, it was about the general prospects for the economy.

“Despite the difficulties in the world economy, we are still building up the potential of mutual cooperation in the economic sphere”, – Aliyev said.

“I share your assessment about the level and nature of our bilateral relations. I note that, despite all the turbulence in the economy, the trade turnover between our countries is growing: last year he grew up, in my opinion, more than 12 percent, and for the first quarter of this year – almost 6. It is generally said that Azerbaijani entrepreneurs are the situation that is emerging in our markets, including those in the food market. I want to emphasize that this makes us very happy ” – Vladimir Putin said.

And, of course, Putin and Aliyev could not touch in conversation first ever European games that takes the capital of Azerbaijan.

Sport theme in Baku draws nothing no less attention than policy, and energy. After conversations with the leaders of the Russian President went to the Olympic Village, which will soon be called the Olympic quarter – to meet with Russian athletes, who arrived in Azerbaijan to participate in the first European games.

The mood in athletes fighting – in Baku, Russia He is counting on a victory in the team competition. Hope it allows the team – and the most representative in terms of quantity and level of training athletes.

President of the athletes presented a set of sports uniforms in the colors of the national team. And ask for photos together. True, and after Putin had little to stay – with a similar request addressed to him, Azerbaijani volunteers working at the Games. The President could not refuse.

After the official dinner of the President of Russia – has invited his Azerbaijani counterpart. Ilham Aliyev personally delivered by Vladimir Putin in his residence on the vehicle.
