Turkey Calls The Need For A New Moscow-West Security Architecture After Russia's Invasion Of Ukraine: No More Cold War

JAKARTA - A month before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, instead of a ceasefire, the intensity of clashes between the two countries' troops has actually increased, with the number of dead, injured and displaced residents continuing to increase.

This led President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's Chief Adviser and Spokesman Ibrahim Kalin to say the Moscow case should be heard as part of the new security architecture being built between Russia and the Western bloc, in an interview with the New York Times.

According to him, "Russia's case must be heard because after this war, there must be a new security architecture built between Russia and the Western bloc."

"We can't face the Cold War anymore, it will be bad for everyone and detrimental to the entire international political and financial system," Kalin said, quoted by TASS of the New York Times, March 21.

"Every decision we make, every step we take now with regard to Russia militarily, politically, economically, and otherwise, will have an impact on that new security architecture," Kalin said.

Russia began its invasion of Ukraine on February 24, after President Vladimir Putin authorized special military operations to demilitarize and denazify the country.

Meanwhile, Ukraine and the West considered it an unreasonable step to start a war, followed by the imposition of sanctions by a number of countries, including the United States and Britain, as well as the European Union. Russia responded by imposing sanctions on the countries concerned.
