The Turkish Foreign Ministry “calls on all parties to common sense.”

The Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemns Russia's decision to recognize the independence of the pseudo-republics “LPR” and “DPR” and expresses strong support for the territorial integrity of Ukraine.

This was reported by the press service of the Turkish Foreign Ministry.

“Turkey does not accept Russia's decision to recognize the uncontrolled territories of Ukraine in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions. Turkey emphasizes its commitment to maintaining the political unity and territorial integrity of Ukraine, calls on all parties to common sense ,” the Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Recall that on February 21, the President of the aggressor country, Vladimir Putin, announced the recognition of the “independence” of the so-called “DPR” and “LPR”, and then, in the presence of militants Denis Pushilin and Leonid Pasechnik, he signed a corresponding decree, as well as agreements on friendship, cooperation and mutual assistance . between the Russian Federation and the LDNR.

Subsequently, there was a reaction of European countries to the recognition of the LNR and the DNR. In Europe, they promise new sanctions for Russia and weapons against tanks for Ukraine.
