This came on Monday in a speech to the people after presiding over a government meeting at the Presidential Complex in Ankara.
President Erdogan noted that everyone witnessed the efforts made by Turkey to defuse the war between Russia and Ukraine before it occurred and its efforts to bring peace after the outbreak of the war.
He noted that the Ukrainian grain shipment mechanism that would prevent a global grain crisis was established thanks to Turkey’s efforts.
