Any initiative to revive the Black Sea grain deal that isolates Russia is not likely to be sustainable, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in a press briefing after the conclusion of the G20 summit in New Delhi on September 10.

Russia, Ukraine, and Turkey are going to continue to discuss the grain deal, Erdogan added. To read the original story by Reuters, click here.
