Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called on Russia and Ukraine to stop military operations in the Black Sea and to refrain from steps that escalate tensions.
Globalinfo.az reports, citing Al Jazeera.
According to the report, Erdogan made the remarks at a joint press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Istanbul:
“It is impossible to tolerate this, regardless of who carries out the attacks and on what grounds. We call on all parties to act responsibly. Ankara has presented proposals to both Moscow and Kyiv on stopping the fighting in the Black Sea. However, the parties have so far not taken concrete steps in this direction.”
Zelensky, for his part, said that at his meeting with Erdogan on October 31 they agreed to cooperate on the operation of the Black Sea “grain corridor”.
