The Turkish president also told the Dutch Prime Minster current level of Turkiye-EU ties does not benefit either side, and the track to a win-win understanding unlocks if the EU’s interests are not ceded to “narrow-minded and abortive” targets of a couple of member states of the EU.
Erdogan added that his country continues its mediation between Russia and Ukraine at the maximum level during the ongoing war for 10 months.
