Turkey's President Recep Tayip Erdogan has hosted two heavy guests in Ankara today. Russian State chief Vladimir Putin, who has participated in placing the cornerstone of the first nuclear reactor in Turkey that Russia and Iran's Hasan Rohan will build. Putin is a fierce opponent of Kosovo's independence, while neither Iran has recognised Kosovo's independence.
The summit in Turkey has been criticised by Berlin for Erdogan's summit with counterparts Vladimir Putin and Iran's president, Rohan. “A war summit”, German State Minister at the Foreign Ministry Niels Anne said.
President Thaci last Thursday has helped Erdogan illegally removed from Kosovo 6 gylenists who came to receive the Turkish secret service.
The move was sharply criticised by the EU.
Speaking of the summit in Turkey, German Minister of State at the Foreign Ministry Niels Anne criticised the Ankara summit. The three sides have been actively involved in the war in Syria, but from the current meetings of these presidents we have been disappointed, since they have not contributed to a political solution, Neils Ahnen said. “
On Wednesday (04.04) President Erdogan, Vladimir Putin and Iranian President Hasan Rohan are expected to discuss the Ankara summit on further ways of acting in Syria. The humanitarian situation, efforts for a new constitution, and areas excluded from the conflict are the main topics of talks.
Opposite sides
Ahead of the summit of three presidents -- the Turkish, Iranian and Russian President Erdogan -- he met separately with Iranian President Rohan. Erdogan had earlier indicated that “we are of the same opinion that we want to continue efforts for a political solution in Syria”. While Iranian President Rohan had stressed that there are no military solutions for Syria and that Syria's future is only in free democratic elections.
Russia and Turkey remain in the Syria conflict on opposing sides. Ankara supports the alert, while Moscow like Tehran supports the president, Bashar al-Assad. The impact of these three countries could likely increase in Syria, while the president, Trump, has announced the mission's quick end in Syria./DW
