ANKARA, Dec 9 (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 9th Dec, 2022 ) :T�rkiye continues its efforts to solve the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Friday, adding that towards this end he will soon have talks with his counterparts on both sides of the conflict.
"In order to resolve this crisis, I will have talks with (Russian President Vladimir) Putin on Sunday. Likewise, there will be one with (Ukrainian President Volodymyr) Zelenskyy," Erdogan told the TRT World Forum in Istanbul.
Erdogan said T�rkiye wants to further strengthen the grain corridor deal T�rkiye helped forge this summer, "and in Putin's words, to send (food) through this grain corridor to underdeveloped countries." On July 22, T�rkiye, the UN, Russia, and Ukraine signed a landmark agreement in Istanbul to resume grain exports from three Ukrainian Black Sea ports, which had been paused in February due to Russia's war on Ukraine.
Days before its scheduled expiration, the landmark grain deal was extended for another 120 days, beginning Nov. 19.
From the very beginning of the crisis, Erdogan said T�rkiye carried out an intense diplomacy with the principle that there will be no winners in the war, adding that T�rkiye has pioneered a peace diplomacy that will set an example for the world.
"While strongly defending Ukraine's territorial integrity, we opposed fueling tension in the region with irrational policies toward Russia," Erdogan added.
Turning to the fight against terrorism, Erdogan slammed those countries � including some fellow NATO members � who support and send weapons to terrorist groups in northern Syria that threaten T�rkiye as well as regional stability.
"Despite its sacrifices, T�rkiye will never forget how it was forsaken in its fight against terrorist groups that pose a serious threat," he added.
The TRT World Forum 2022, a two-day annual event, started in Istanbul on Friday, held by Turkish national broadcaster TRT.
The gathering, held this year under the theme "Mapping the Future: Uncertainties, Realities and Opportunities" brings together academics, journalists, intellectuals, politicians, and members of civil society from around the globe.
