Meanwhile, the Turkish President pointed out that the solution must be based on a “credible formula” that satisfies Ukraine, Russia and the international community. The Turkish leader added that he urged all countries to open their doors to refugees who request entry.

Turkey’s willingness to contribute to NATO’s deterrence in solidarity with its allies is our aim, Erdogan said.
