The Turkish Foreign Ministry said that Ankara does not support the accession of the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions to Russia and that the Turkish authorities consider the accession of new territories to the Russian Federation a gross violation of international law.
The statement of the Turkish Foreign Ministry states that the country did not recognize the decisions on Crimea in 2014 and has always stressed its support for the territorial integrity, independence and sovereignty of Ukraine. Moscow’s decision on the new territories in Ankara was called “annexation”.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry has confirmed the previous call to resolve the conflict through negotiations.
