Erdogan Calls on Russia and Ukraine 0 9

The Black Sea should not be a arena for settling scores between Russia and Ukraine. This call was made by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, reports NTV.

"Settling scores will bring no benefit to either Russia or Ukraine," emphasized the Turkish leader.

According to Erdogan, there is a need for the safety of navigation in the Black Sea. He urged that it must be ensured.

In early December, the tanker Midvolga 2, registered to the Big Port of St. Petersburg and sailing under the Russian flag, was attacked in the Black Sea. Prior to this, two oil tankers flying the Gambian flag, Kairos and Virat, heading to Russia were attacked off the coast of Turkey.
