What is important to understand is that the Turkish leader, who met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a few days ago, also met with the scandalous Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Ankara.
According to Erdogan, he supports the initiative of White House President Donald Trump to end Russia's war against Ukraine.
Despite this, he emphasized that an important point cannot be overlooked here.
The path to a just and lasting peace can only be opened through an equation in which all relevant parties are represented, Recep Tayyip Erdogan emphasized.
