Canada Global(Web News)Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said that his country is ready to work as a mediator for peace talks between Russia and Ukraine.
According to a foreign news agency, on the occasion of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov’s visit to Turkey and the Antalya Diplomacy Forum, he said that diplomacy and dialogue should be given an opportunity for a fair and lasting solution to the war in Ukraine.
