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.
The Turkish President said that it is very important to use diplomatic means at the highest level in every possible way to achieve this goal.
In a video message of the Ukraine-Southeast Europe summit in Albania, the Turkish president said that the efforts to bring Russia and Ukraine closer to each other and for peaceful negotiations are insufficient.
