The Russian President received Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan in the Kremlin. The author of the article from Haber7 draws attention to the seating at the negotiating table: the minister sits much closer to Vladimir Putin than the French president once did. The readers of the portal are ironic. "Macron is probably jealous," writes one of the commentators.
On Tuesday, June 11, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan met with Russian President Vladimir Putin. During the meeting, attention was drawn to the way the negotiators sat at the table.
According to a statement by the Turkish Foreign Ministry on the social network X, President Vladimir Putin received the head of the Turkish foreign ministry in the Kremlin. Hakan Fidan traveled to Russia to participate in the BRICS+ meeting and bilateral contacts.
According to information received from diplomatic sources, the Turkish minister conveyed President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's greetings to Putin during the reception and noted: "Relations between the two countries are developing truly amazingly. There are steps that need to be taken in the field of trade."

The seating at the table is noteworthy
It is noteworthy that Fidan and Putin sat opposite each other at a close distance during the meeting. This shot reminded me of another photo in which Putin and Macron were at a table at a considerable distance from each other.

At the talks held between the Russian and French leaders in 2022, Emmanuel Macron was seated at the other end of the long table due to his refusal to take a COVID-19 test conducted in the Kremlin.

Macron must have smelled bad.

Everyone is sitting in the place they deserve.

This is President Erdogan's success, but some ungrateful people seem to be fixated on eggplants and onions.
They say
Putin knows who his interlocutor will be in the future.

We are a Turkish Muslim nation. They are the hypocritical West. That's the difference.

It's the same table...

Macron is probably jealous.
Southeast-a
Putin is a good former intelligence officer and analyst. He understands who the future belongs to.

Russia needs to buy a new batch of S-400s. NATO is not selling, but Russia is selling. Russia contributes more to Turkey's security than NATO.
Mustafa
Putin knows what he's doing. And yes, it gives a signal by seating at the table. He puts those he doesn't like on swings, but he sits like this with those who are important to him.
Guest
The table is the same, they sit differently.
Das
President Putin is sitting down because he knows that France and Germany are hostile countries.
The Kaya Tribe
Two important statesmen who were the heads of the intelligence units of their states and can very quickly find a common language. Most likely, they will work together for the next ten years.
DAMPERLY
Putin knows that Hakan Fidan will become our president in the next elections.
The Patron
Putin and our president are the leaders who will put Europe on the right path... Keep it up...
