Ankara: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan discussed bilateral relations and regional and international issues in a telephone call with his German counterpart Frank-Walter Steinmeier. During the call, Erdogan pointed out that the war in the region has also begun to weaken Europe, and that failure to intervene with a peace-focused approach will lead to much greater damage as a result of the continuation of the conflict.

According to Qatar News Agency, Erdogan stressed that Turkiye, as in the Iranian issue, is making efforts to end the Russian-Ukrainian war through negotiations and to reach a lasting peace.
