| Erdogan: US and Western attacks against Unlimited Russia |
The United States (USA) and the West overall attacked Russia "almost limitless," which triggered a natural defense reaction. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan revealed that on Saturday (12/11/2022), upon returning from the peak meeting of Turkish countries in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. Noting that Russia is not an "ordinary" country, but "powerful", Erdogan praises his "great resistance" to hostile actions from the Western collective.
West, and especially the US, attacking Russia is almost limitless. Of course, Russia shows a great resistance in dealing with all of this," said Erdogan.
Erdogan hints that Turkey will continue his efforts to mediate between Russia and Ukraine in the midst of conflict. He reminded the recent incident in the Black Sea that placed a UN sponsored deal and was meditated by Turkey to facilitate the export of grain from the Ukrainian port on the edge of the collapse abyss.
Russian Navy ship was targeted by sea drones near Crimea by the end of October. Moscow accuses Kiev of using grain corridors to perform attacks and temporarily suspend its participation in the agreement.
Russia also accuses that the attack is in the UK, the accusations that London denies. Ukraine also rejected the accusation. A few days later, the suspension of the deal was canceled by Moscow, which said it had received a written guarantee from Kiev that they would not use the grain corridor for military purposes. Ukraine denies having received additional obligations. “There was a grain corridor incident. We can open the peace corridor from here, we are trying to do this. We think the best way for this is to switch from dialogue to peace,” Erdogan papar. He added, for now, the parties in the grain deal should focus on running it in a “serious” way. Turkey adopted a neutral position at the beginning of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, refusing to take part in Western sanctions against Moscow, while continuing its military cooperation with Kiev, including selling a number of Bayraktar attack drones to Kiev. Ankara has maintained contact with both parties, trying to become a mediator. Turkey became the host of talks between Moscow and Kiev in Istanbul earlier this year, where the deal was reported to be reached but then rejected by Ukraine.
