Russia and Ukraine are close to an agreement on key issues, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said, adding that "Ukraine wants Turkey to be a guarantor."
In remarks at a meeting of the ruling AKP party's Provincial Council, Cavusoglu said that "we have demonstrated a principled stance from the beginning of this crisis. We have relations with Russia in many fields. This right of relations has not prevented us from defending the law and the laws. We have also developed very close relations with Ukraine."
"We are working hard to end the war. There is a big fire. If we don't put out the fire, it will affect us all," he said.
Cavusoglu went on to say that "the sides are close to agreement on key issues" and that "Ukraine wants Turkey to be the guarantor."
"If Russia and Ukraine trust us, it is because of our principled stance," he claimed."
He also claimed that "we are at the heart of diplomacy. We took this stance with the aim of becoming players. We are in a position to play the game and spoil it. The whole world appreciates our diplomacy which has the ability to change the game."
