Turkish President Erdogan has rebuked Russia’s military interventions in Ukraine and Syria.
Ukrainian President has met with Turkish leaders as part of a visit to the country’s capital Ankara.
Speaking at a news conference in Ankara with his Ukrainian counterpart Petro Poroshenko,Erdogan lashed out at Russia: “Russia says it deployed forces in Syria at the invitation of the Syrian regime. I wonder who invited them to Ukraine so that they went into Ukraine? How can they explain this within international law?”
Turks have close kinship bonds with the Muslim, Turkic-speaking Tatar minority in Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula Moscow annexed from Ukraine a year ago.
