Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in an interview with the American television channel PBS said that the return of the captured territories is of particular significance when reaching peace between Russia and Ukraine.
“This is what is also needed. Mr. Guterrish (UN Secretary General) took certain steps in this matter. There are steps that we took and these steps and this return (territories) will really facilitate our work “,” said Erdogan.
He emphasized that since 2014, at meetings with Putin, he calls him to return Crimea to Ukraine.
“They are also our compatriots. We told them that” if you go to this step, then reassure us, reassure Ukraine, reassure the Crimean Tatars. “But, unfortunately, since then it has not been undertaken there. One step in this direction, ”said the Turkish leader.
