Next, at the Russian Center for Science and Culture (RCSC), a meeting took place where Russian and Turkish experts explored the issues of humanitarian cooperation between the two nations. They discussed the current state and future development of cultural, educational, and scientific ties. Additionally, specialists from the Primakov Center presented their projects aimed at fostering bilateral dialogue.
Finally, our delegation's suitcases brimmed with Turkish delights and pastila, threatening to exceed baggage limits. It seems that upon returning home, there will not only be meeting reports to share but also a tasting of Turkish delicacies!

Oleksandra Matviichuk, a Kyiv-based lawyer and head of the Center for Civil Liberties, called Durov’s position "very weak," and urged concrete improvements. Multiple pro-Kremlin media figures circulated the post's false claims, including prominent Russian journalist Vladimir Soloviev and the state-controlled Russian outlet RT, according to the DFR Lab's report. Given the pro-privacy stance of the platform, it’s taken as a given that it’ll be used for a number of reasons, not all of them good. And Telegram has been attached to a fair few scandals related to terrorism, sexual exploitation and crime. Back in 2015, Vox described Telegram as “ISIS’ app of choice,” saying that the platform’s real use is the ability to use channels to distribute material to large groups at once. Telegram has acted to remove public channels affiliated with terrorism, but Pavel Durov reiterated that he had no business snooping on private conversations. The Security Service of Ukraine said in a tweet that it was able to effectively target Russian convoys near Kyiv because of messages sent to an official Telegram bot account called "STOP Russian War." In 2014, Pavel Durov fled the country after allies of the Kremlin took control of the social networking site most know just as VK. Russia's intelligence agency had asked Durov to turn over the data of anti-Kremlin protesters. Durov refused to do so.
