JAKARTA - President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told President Vladimir Putin by telephone that peace efforts in the Russian-Ukraine war must be supported by a ceasefire and "vision for a just solution", the Turkish Presidential Office said on Thursday.
President Erdogan and President Putin have spoken repeatedly since Russian forces invaded Ukraine in February.
"President Erdogan said calls for peace and negotiations must be supported by a ceasefire and a vision for a just solution," the presidential office said, adding President Erdogan reminded President Putin of the positive results of the agreement on the grain corridor.
Turkey is known to act as a mediator with the United Nations to make a deal that would allow the export of grains from the Ukrainian port.
Ukraine is the world's main producer and exporter of grains, but production and exports have fallen since Russia invaded and began blocking its ports.
Meanwhile, President Putin stressed the destructive role of Western countries that have pumped up the Kyiv regime with military weapons and hardware, as well as providing operational information, the Kremlin said.
Given Erdogan's readiness to mediate a political solution to the conflict, "Putin reiterated that Russia is open to serious dialogue," the Kremlin said, citing TASS.
In addition, the two leaders also discussed the Syrian issue, with President Erdogan telling President Putin that concrete steps needed to be taken to clean up Kurdish militants from Syrian border areas.
"President Erdogan stressed that concrete steps must now be taken to clean up the PKK/PYD/YPG terrorist organization from the Turkish border area, especially Tel Rifat and Manbij," he said.
