The Turkish President invited Putin and Zelensky to Turkey.
Ankara's readiness to contribute to reducing tensions between Kiev and Moscow was announced by the Turkish leader's press secretary.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan invited the Presidents of Russia Vladimir Putin and Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky to Turkey to discuss and resolve differences.
This was announced by the press secretary of the Turkish Presidential Administration Ibrahim Kalyn during panel discussions on "The possible impact of tensions between Russia and Ukraine on Europe and NATO", organized in an online format by the Circle Foundation analytical center.
Kalyn said that Ankara is ready to play any possible role to reduce tensions between Moscow and Kiev, stressing that the consequences of Russia's military operation against Ukraine will be great and irreversible. He also added that there are no quick solutions to such long-term geopolitical problems.
Kalyn said that on this occasion, President Erdogan held talks with the leaders of both countries.
"I even invited them (the presidents of the Russian Federation and Ukraine) to come to Turkey and hold a meeting here to resolve problems and disagreements. Turkey is ready to play any possible role to reduce tensions between Russia and Ukraine. We are doing this both as a friend of Russia and Ukraine, and as a NATO ally," the Turkish leader's spokesman said.
He also informed that Erdogan will pay a visit to Ukraine in the coming weeks, where he will meet with President Zelensky.
"At the same time, we will be in close contact with Moscow to avoid any military actions that have large and irreversible consequences," Kalyn was quoted as saying by Anadolu agency.
