ISTANBUL, Turkey ? Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called for a ceasefire as Russian and Ukrainian delegations met face to face in Istanbul on Tuesday,
resuming their talks on Russia’s invasion of its neighbor last month.
In a speech he delivered at the start of negotiations, Erdogan said progress in the talks could pave the way for a meeting between the leaders of the two countries.
“We believe that there will be no losers in a just peace. Prolonging the conflict is not in anyone’s interest,” he said.
“As members of the delegations you have taken on a historic responsibility. The whole world is awaiting the good news that will come from you.”
“The two parties have legitimate concerns, it’s possible to reach a solution acceptable to the international community,” Erdogan said.
“It’s up to the two parties to put an end to this tragedy,” he insisted, adding that the “extension of the conflict is in no one’s interest.”
