Erdogan speaks out against Black Sea vessel strikes

Erdogan does not mince his words.

Whether we like him or not, there’s no denying the fact that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is completely removed from the Western Globalist narratives that shape so many ‘leaders.’

Who else would walk up to the podium in the General Assembly of the United Nations and fire from all cylinders against ‘global ‌gender-neutralization policies’ and say that they had turned into ‘a campaign targeting families and children’?

When it comes to the Russian ‘phobia’ affecting most of European Globalist elites, Erdogan is also not partaking, having maintained good relations with both Moscow and Kiev during these 5 years of war.

In fact, Erdogan very nearly ended the Ukraine conflict back in 2022, when Istanbul negotiations were about to finish the bloodiest war in Europe since WW2 right after it started – before then-UK PM Boris Johnson stepped in to keep Volodymyr Zelensky from signing the deal.

So, when Erdogan criticizes Zelensky or his policies, we know he speaks neither for the Globalist overlords nor for Moscow propaganda.

It’s just pure Erdogan, take it or leave it.

Reuters reported:

“Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan told Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky that attacks by Russia and Ukraine on commercial vessels in the Black Sea were inexplicable and steps must be taken to stop these, according to a readout from his office ‌on Thursday.

‘During the meeting, President Erdogan stated that Turkey was ready to do all it can for the Ukraine-Russia war to end with lasting peace, that we will ⁠continue our efforts to revive direct negotiations’, the Turkish presidency said in a statement.

‘Our President stated that a step must be taken regarding navigational safety in the Black Sea, that attacks on commercial vessels are inexplicable, and that we expect the sides to act responsibly’, it added.”
