Erdogan: More diplomacy, more reconciliation will open door to peace in Ukraine

Russia’s war against Ukraine can easily end if the US administration under Donald Trump takes a solution-based approach, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Friday, according to the Turkish newspaper Yeni Şafak.
“If in the Trump era we see a US administration that approaches the issue from a settlement perspective, we can easily end this war. More weapons, more bombs, more chaos and conflicts will not end this war. More dialogue, more diplomacy, more reconciliation will open the door to peace,” Erdogan said while talking to journalists on board the plane after returning from Budapest.
He noted that Turkey is “a country that has managed to bring both sides to the same table.”
“We have done it many times and we can do it again. This war must end now,” Erdogan emphasized.
According to him, Turkey has focused its efforts on achieving peace and will continue to do so. “We hope that in the new period we will be able to start from scratch and achieve peace, in which all conflicts and wars will end,” the Turkish leader said.
In his opinion, Trump’s election as US president will have a serious impact on the political and military balance in the Middle East. In addition, Erdogan said that he had invited Trump to Turkey.
“I hope he will accept our invitation and thus strengthen cooperation between Turkey and the United States,” he said.
