A new era is going on in Russia-Ukraine. Since the phone colliel, US President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin and the Munich Security Conference, face a busy diplomatic activity after the difference between us and the European people.
European and Ukraine only try to repeat. The dialect to be in the headlines was one of the reasons that Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelancesi visited Turkey this week. Although Turkey is not invited to a conversation table with the US and Russia, its President Recep Tayip Erdogan still aims to play an important play with Russia in future peace talks, and in the creation of new security architecture.
During the Russia-Ukraine War, Turkey has always tried to keep diplomatic channels open for both sides, while maintaining good relations with Moscow and Kiev. Erdogan now wants to maintain this policy.
He underlined it during Zelansky’s visit to Ankara. Erdogan announced that Türkiye would try his best to help stop the conversation process with a permanent peace.
Hey, so put its country as an ideal host for potential negotiations between Russia, Ukraine and USA, arguing that Turkey is “reliable intermediary” by both sides. However, does this proposal want to accept that it is far from certainly away.
Turkish suddenly comes out in cold
Helin Saree Ertam, a political scientist at the University of Medenite in Istanbul, said that Turkey, as an emerging regional power, aspires to play a mediated role in this struggle for a long time. But according to him, Türkiye’s efforts are bent.
He said, “Like Turkey, European Union countries left the US-Russian summit in Saudi Arabia,” he said, if America wants Turkey’s participation in the future, it will be ready to take the role.
During the war, Turkish was involved in the installation of the so -called “grain corridor” in the Black Sea, which secured exports of importing food supply from Ukraine to the rest of the world.
Former Turkish Ambassador to NATO Fatah Seelon told what Turkey did to Intalya and Istanbul in the early months of the struggle.
However, the US except Europe has placed all the European partners of Ukraine in a difficult position – and Turkey.
“As long as it is not clear whether the plan is presented, it is not possible to create a concrete commitment of support,” said.
He stressed that the current rift between the US and Europe on security, economic and trade issues is likely to result in Turkey.
“If someone feels that they can stay out of the situation, I think there is an illusion,” said, “Iteon said, contracting European economies during a business spat would be unavoidable that the impact for Turkish business balance will be.
Will Türkiye be part of the security guarantee for Ukraine?
At a press conference with Erdogan, Zelancesi emphasized the importance of comprehensive safety guarantee for Ukraine. Speaking to reporters shortly before Ankara left, Zelancesi reiterated the demand.
“If it is not NATO, who will be able to guarantee us?” “We have talked to President Erdogan about a possible security guarantee to strong countries with strong armies including Turkey.”
The damp stated that gender to unanswered questions.
“It’s not enough to say: ‘I’m sending soldiers!” It should be determined through multilateral dialogues, in which Europe and Turkish are insicious, or through the United Nations Security Council, “said.” In other words, in other words, bilateral talks between the US and Russia in a multilateral framework first Should be taken. “
In such a scenario, damping said, so Turkey can have an important role.
Ertam from Medenite University in Istanbul, ie, said that Turkey, like other European countries, can be “pushed” in military peace in eastern Ukraine and may be more willing to join it than many European Union countries. Is.
What is the importance of the Black Sea?
Erdogan sees a new regulation on maritime security in the Black Sea as a possible way to create confidence for the peace process. Sealon said that if Russia retains the regions that conquer Ukraine after peace talks, the importance of the Black Sea will be taken on a new dimension. In this case, the security of shipping in the Black Sea will have to be re -examined. Consequently, it may be mandatory that Turkish security is one of the countries providing guarantee.
If there is a rapid development of the peace process in the future, the protection of the Black Sea will be, uniquely, for the passage of ships for business.
Ertam reported that the mines placed in the Black Sea near the coasts of Ukraine and Russia during the war pose a threat to the ships. This trade is of economic importance for Türkiye and its Black Sea neighbors. An agreement was signed between Romania, Bulgaria and Türkiye to clean these mines.
“Since Riyadh has a US-Russian interaction, we have seen that the main object on the agenda is to ensure peace with Ukraine,” said Ertam. “But this is not only about achieving peace within Ukrainian regions. Peace in the Black Sea should be secured. I think it will be the point that Türkiye will insist.”
