Video address to participants of 2nd International Tiger Conservation Forum on  September 5, 2022

Vladimir Putin sent greetings to participants, organisers, and guests of the 14th Open National Youth Martial Arts Games on September 4, 2022.

The message reads in part:

“The upcoming competitions occupy their rightful place among both significant and large-scale events in the calendar of children’s and youth sports. Every year, it brings together energetic and talented participants who are engaged in various types of martial arts. These matches help the fighters assess their own strengths and capabilities, hone their skills and gain experience. And most importantly, such prestigious and high-level competitions foster fortitude and dedication, one’s ability to take a punch and not back down from a challenge.

I am sure that the current Games will prove successful, will help popularise martial arts and promote the values of a healthy, active lifestyle, especially among young people.”

Telephone conversation with President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev

Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with President of the Republic of Turkiye Recep Tayyip Erdogan on September 3, 2022.

The Turkish leader expressed condolences over the death of former President of the USSR Mikhail Gorbachev and noted his significant role in the contemporary history of Russia and the entire world.

The leaders discussed further progress of the multifaceted cooperation between Russia and Turkiye in the context of the agreements reached in Sochi on August 5.

They reaffirmed their commitment to expand trade and economic relations, including promoting joint strategic projects in energy.

The discussion also touched upon the situation in Ukraine. Recep Tayyip Erdogan stressed Russia’s constructive role in organising the IAEA mission to the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant. Also, they reviewed the implementation of the grain deal concluded in Istanbul on July 22 with mediation of the President of Turkiye.

The leaders agreed to continue contacts.

Vladimir Putin sent greetings to the current and former workers of the Izhora Plants, one of Russia’s oldest industrial entities on September 3, 2022.

The message reads, in part:

“You can be rightly proud of the history of your enterprises, which have always safeguarded the nation’s security and made a significant contribution to enhancing the combat capacity of our Army and Navy. During the Great Patriotic War, the plant’s workers produced advanced types of armoured equipment and munitions for multiple launch rockets. We will always remember the legendary volunteer Izhora Battalion, which defended Leningrad from the enemy.

Today the Izhhora Plants are a major high-tech industrial complex, a powerhouse of Russian heavy machine building which manufactures equipment for the nuclear energy and petrochemical sectors. The plant’s workers cherish and continue the great traditions of their predecessors, successfully achieve their goals and work with great dedication.

I am confident that when the Izhora industrial site is transferred under Rosatom’s management, new horizons and opportunities will open up for you.”

Vladimir Putin sent a message of greetings to the participants, organisers and guests of the 5^th Ildar Abdrazakov International Music Festival on September 2, 2022.

The message reads, in part:

“It is gratifying that the remarkable project of Ildar Abdrazakov, one of the leading Russian and world opera singers, has gained deep respect and loyal fans. Every year it boosts its creative potential and pushes its boundaries.

The full concert programme and geographic reach of this anniversary season, from Moscow to Vladivostok, will make it possible for wide audiences to see the best examples of opera classics and vocal art. And, of course, the festival will discover new, young talents of Russia. It is an excellent school of professional skills for novice gifted performers and makes people’s lives spiritually richer and more interesting.

I believe that the festival will give its participants and guests vivid and unforgettable impressions.”
