“In fact, in the next couple of weeks, President Erdogan will be travelling to Ukraine to hold talks with President Zelensky there, but also we will remain in close contact with the Russians to avoid any kind of military action, whose consequences of course will be great and irreversible.
So we all have to do whatever we can to avoid that kind of situation.”
Kalin said Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been talking with both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
“In fact, he even invited both of them to come to Turkey, if they want to have a meeting there, sort out their issues and differences,” he said.
He added that “Turkey remains available for any role…to lower tensions between Russia and Ukraine.”
“And we do this as Turkey, as a friendly country to both Russia and Ukraine, but also as a NATO ally.”
