Türkiye hopes that the Black Sea grain deal, which is set to expire on March 18, will be extended, the country’s defense minister said on Sunday.

“Both sides (Russia and Ukraine) have a positive attitude and we believe that it will be extended,” Hulusi Akar told Anadolu’s Editors’ Desk which gathered in the quake-hit southern Hatay province.

He reiterated Türkiye’s efforts to ensure that the landmark Istanbul deal continues to be implemented and said nearly 24 million tons of grain were delivered to those in need via the deal.

Last July, Türkiye, the UN, Russia, and Ukraine signed an agreement in Istanbul to resume grain exports from three Ukrainian Black Sea ports paused after the Russia-Ukraine war began in February 2022.

Thanks to Turkish efforts, the grain deal was extended for another 120 days, starting on Nov. 19.

Voluntarily return of Syrians

Akar said around 56,000 Syrians in Türkiye have returned to their home country across the border since the Feb. 6 earthquakes, which were centered in Türkiye’s southern region and caused devastation in northern Syria.

He also rebuffed claims that there has been an influx of Syrian refugees to Türkiye via its southern border. Many Syrian citizens living in Türkiye are returning to their home country due to losing their homes and relatives.

More than 47,900 people were killed in Türkiye by the magnitude 7.7 and 7.6 quakes, according to official figures.

Over 13.5 million people in Türkiye have been affected by the powerful tremors that rocked 11 provinces – Kahramanmaras, Hatay, Gaziantep, Adiyaman, Malatya, Adana, Diyarbakir, Kilis, Osmaniye, Sanliurfa, and Elazig.
