What exactly was meant by a humanitarian catastrophe and how the events in Russia could have led to it is not specified.
In a conversation with Stoltenberg, Erdogan also said that Turkey hopes that the episode with the rebellion will become "a new milestone on the path to a just peace in Ukraine."
Background. Meanwhile, it was reported that on Saturday, June 24, during the so-called Prigozhin "riot," Russian dictator Putin called Erdogan, among others, asking for help. In response, Erdogan offered to help mediate the conflict. At the same time, other leaders, such as Kazakhstan and Iran, refused to help, noting that these were internal political affairs of Russia itself.
