Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said he believes that talks about a settlement in Ukraine will eventually involve country leaders, SİA informs via TASS.
"In order for the leaders to meet, it is necessary to get certain decisions to be prepared for this meeting, get the negotiations of the delegations to reach a certain point. That is, a certain agenda must be prepared in advance for such a summit. I will tell you my personal opinion on this issue, as I cannot speak for the side - it would be incorrect. My analysis of the situation is that if there are several more meetings of the delegations and the negotiations reach a certain point, the meeting of the leaders will be inevitable," the minister said on TRT television.
Fidan mentioned that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had earlier said that he would gladly host the leaders of Russia and Ukraine. The minister said that when he traveled to Moscow and Kyiv last week, he relayed to Russian President Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy that Erdogan was ready to set up a summit of leaders to reach a settlement in Ukraine.
Ankara expects Russia and Ukraine to hold another round of talks following the progress during their latest meeting in Istanbul on June 2, Fidan added.
"I think the June 2 meeting yielded progress in terms of the implementation of what was agreed during the previous round of talks. That is why we expect that another meeting will be held," he told the TRT Haber television channel, commenting on the June 2 round of Russian-Ukrainian talks in Istanbul.
He noted that yesterday’s talks yielded major agreements, such as on another exchange of prisoners of war and the sick. "The sides arrived for the meeting well-prepared and were determined to reach some results," he added.
