Armatos Ukraine, does not impose sanctions on Russia: Why Turkey, Despite It Is Respected by Both sides

Original Title in Guardian: Turkey heads package of countries willing to mediate between Ukraine, Russia

Among several countries that have offered themselves as negotiators between Russia and Ukraine, Turkey was seen as the winner, boosting its diplomatic shadow, despite the current theatre stage we may not have concrete benefits.

French President Emmanuel Macron has continued his efforts by making calls to Vladimir Putin, but it was the Turkish Foreign Ministry, capable of making together Russians and Ukrainians in Istanbul.

He has a curious position. Turkey, as NATO members, continues to arm Ukraine until it refuses to impose sanctions on Russia, and with all these two actions, continues to be respected by both sides.

Turks, they have an extraordinary sense of smell about what's going on around them. Speaking over the weekend in Doha, Turkish President Erdogan's adviser and spokesman said: When all this is over, there will be a new architecture of global security. The way this new global security architecture will be done will detect the course that will be used for decades to come.

Every step we take, every move we make to end this war, will have an impact on the new security architecture that is coming”.

In brief, this negotiation set that was held (in Turkey) may not be an eco just for participants in it, but for the whole world.

Kalin further said: “What is happening in this war, must be studied carefully. The dissective power that has shaken international order since the end of the Cold War over three decades has to do with increasing this crisis and eventually the war we're trying to stop now”

Despite saying the war was unwarranted and unproachable, he added:

Whatever has led Russia to this job, including security concerns, should be heard, not reasoned. We need to talk to Russia. If everyone burns all the bridges with Russia, then who will Russia speak to at the end of the day?

He (Calin, our version) was implying that the American hegemonypoca is complete.

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevluüt Cavuşoğlu said on Saturday he believes Ukraine's interests should be seen in balanced form in foreign policy.

Turkey has tried to play the role of the union, he said, refusing to make a division between East and West something he said has been obliged to do so because of its dual geography.

The reality is much more complex and perhaps far more complex than what we see.

After a long period of problems in some regions, Turkey, which has been hit even by economic weakness, probably needs to show itself now.

“We have to find the way the two sides will guard their faces and say an exit from the situation, in a way that can be clarified publicly and globally”, the Turkish foreign minister said, referring to the Ukrainian and Russian sides.

A meeting between the foreign ministers -- the Ukrainian and Russian ministers, Kuleba and Lavrov -- was also held early in the month at the Diplomacy Forum in Antalya.

There was little progress since then, despite the fact that Ukraine's Kuleba did not speak about cancelling the demand that Ukraine join NATO and accept neutral status, in exchange for which it would receive security guarantees from a group of states.

But in recent discussions in Istanbul, which lasted two days, Ukraine's bid was more extensive and offered more writing. This time around, the Ukraine side was headed by President Zelensky's adviser, Mihaylo Podolyak, and the Russian delegation was headed by Putin's adviser, Vladimir Medinsky.

Podolyak has said Ukraine wants to see countries like China, Russia, the United States, France, Turkey, Germany, Canada and Israel as guarantor states (safety).

Podolyak (Eplui's adviser) has said the preliminary admission came from some places we would like to be guarantors.

Nothing that could be very promising”, Moscow said yesterday. But, Turkey is more optimistic and says it has a plan to advance further in negotiations.

Turkey's next goal is to bring it together in a room, Voldymyr Zelensky and Vladimir Putin. For now, Putin thinks he is suffering losses from his Ukrainian counterpart.

But if Turkey succeeds in doing so, it would be an extraordinary return of Erdogan whose autocratic tendencies have repeatedly threatened him to appear unacceptable internationally. /Patric Wintour: The Guardian/transfer and adapt: Dafina Demaku/Periscopi
