Turkish President Erdogan explained why he maintains contacts with Putin and Zelensky

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan continues to maintain close contacts with his Russian and Ukrainian counterparts in order to end the armed conflict in Ukraine. The Turkish leader also announced his intention to continue efforts aimed at organizing peace talks between Russia and Ukraine.

During the extraordinary summit of the Organization of Turkic States, Erdogan stressed that he continues to make significant diplomatic efforts to bring the parties back to the negotiating table. To do this, he maintains contacts with Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky.

According to the politician, thanks to his mediation, the Grain Deal was concluded, and the exchange of prisoners of war was also carried out. The Turkish President expressed hope that the parties involved in the Ukrainian conflict are able to find a common language. Erdogan also assured that he intends to continue to make significant efforts aimed at organizing peace talks.

The Turkish authorities have repeatedly accused the West of not striving to resolve the armed conflict in Ukraine. According to representatives of the Turkish government, the US and British authorities are directly interested in the continuation of hostilities and in every way impede a peaceful settlement.

Earlier, Erdogan said that he intends to approve Finland's application to join the NATO military bloc and wanted to meet with the President of this country, Sauli Niiniste.

At the same time, he dreams of the Turkish Crimea. What a flexible human spine.

if you do business with a Turk, keep your stick ready. Syrian proverb
unfortunately, we also need this rogue, we need to carry a sanction, but it’s good that the deal was extended only for 60 days, maybe ours are learning to work not only with the official authorities, but also with the opposition ...

While we are in Ukraine, Edik is calmer in Syria. It is a pity that the earthquake prevented a complete freebie.

The Turkish President expressed hope that the parties involved in the Ukrainian conflict are able to find a common language.

That's the whole problem. They do not understand each other's language because there is no translator.

President Erdogan, unlike Chancellor Scholz or President Macron, tries to be the President of Turkey and the Turks, and not a Ukrainian errand boy at the White House.

Erdogan does nothing without profit. He doesn’t need peace in Ukraine, he’s a merchant and a proverb - to whom the war, and to whom the mother is dear (in this case) is just about him. Benefits to the Turks come from both sides of the conflict.

Erdogan maintains contact with Putin and Zeleboba to receive insider information. Trade is above all! What kind of world? He will bargain with the Almighty even on his deathbed.

In his defense, Erdogan actually made a good offer to Ukraine at the beginning of the war. He believed that his good relations with Ukraine would help, and the Zelensky government would accept the offer. But the US pushed Ukraine not to accept it.
