Turkey is attempting to open a dialogue between Russia and Ukraine, despite the fact that the West, particularly the United States, provokes Moscow, according to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
“The West, particularly the United States, is attacking Russia almost without limit.” “Of course, Russia is resisting all of this,” Erdogan said on Saturday, according to the semi-official Anadolu Agency.
The President told reporters on a flight from Uzbekistan to Turkey that Ankara has been working on the establishment of “a peace corridor” in the same way that it has allowed the grain corridor from Ukraine to resume.
“We believe that dialogue is the best way to achieve peace.” But for the time being, the most important thing for us is to operate the grain corridor seriously,” Erdogan said.
According to Xinhua, the Turkish President added that putting a time limit on the Black Sea Grain Initiative, which allows the export of Ukrainian grain and other agricultural products from Black Sea ports, would be wrong.
“We told Russia and Ukraine that the longer they hold on to this agreement, the more accurate it will be,” he said.
The Black Sea Grain initiative, mediated by the UN and Turkey, was reached in late July to establish a maritime humanitarian corridor in the Black Sea for grain and agricultural product exports amid the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
