Erdogan: Russia’s move unacceptable – We are taking precautionary measures

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan called Russia’s move to recognize the Ukrainian provinces of Donetsk and Luhansk as independent states “unacceptable” and called on all parties to respect “international law”, according to NTV and Reuters. .

Turkey, a NATO member and neighbor of both Ukraine and Russia in the Black Sea, maintains good relations with both countries and has offered to mediate to resolve their differences.

He has been critical of Western manipulation during the crisis.

“We consider this decision by Russia unacceptable. We reiterate our call for common sense and respect for international law on all fronts,” he said, on a flight to Africa.

He added that his country has prepared “precautionary measures” as a country on the periphery of the conflict.
