Washington-Moscow talks are likely to continue in Türkiye

According to RCO News Agency, Turkish Justice and Development Party’s deputy Khalil Kurkmaz said in an interview today (Saturday) that Istanbul’s selection as the site of Russian and US negotiations was not accidental and that the negotiations in Turkey will continue.

Russia and the United States held the second round of negotiations in Istanbul last Thursday, the second round of negotiations to normalize the parties to Istanbul.

In an interview with Ryanovosti News Agency, Kurkmaz, referring to the meeting of the Antalya Diplomacy Assembly, said: See how the Antalya Diplomacy Assembly has brought together guests from all over the world. Türkiye not only brings all from around the world to a table, but acts as a “global conscience”. Türkiye has become the Center for World Diplomacy in the Multiplay World to achieve common goals.

“The issues of Syria and Libya are resolved through Türkiye and with its mediation,” he said. In this regard, the Russian -US negotiations and the selection of Istanbul as the context of random negotiations are not. This process will continue in Türkiye. We should not be surprised. Türkiye’s view of this process is based on justice and Ankara has no other purpose.

The AKP said that holding a meeting between Russia and Ukraine in Türkiye is also likely but requires joint efforts by all parties.

He added: “I don’t think the question should be whether this meeting is likely to be in Türkiye, but how to do something in Türkiye.”

“I think we should not deceive ourselves,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Friday about his country’s talks with the United States after holding another round in Istanbul. But targeting for normalization based on mutual understanding and respect for the national interests of each country is quite realistic.

Lavrov said Russia’s contacts with US President Donald Trump showed that there is a fundamental understanding of the need for dialogue and such an approach is possible.

Washington has been negotiating with Russian officials and then Ukraine in Saudi Arabia in recent weeks. The US-Rossia talks in Riyadh focused on aligning the positions of Moscow and Washington and drawing a plan for Ukrainian peace. The US -Ukraine negotiator meeting, which took place in Jeddah, also led to a joint statement and Ukraine’s agreement with a five -day ceasefire proposal.
