WE WILL NOT PUT OUR COUNTRY TO WAR"
Emphasizing that the region and the world that Turkey is in is turning into a field of international struggle
that is getting tougher, Erdoğan said:
"We are experiencing a world characterized by crises and wars. We have been able to build a strong, independent Turkey in this environment and we need to maintain it. We fought and will continue to fight so that war does not come to these lands. I can explain this; we will not involve our country in war, we will keep the family institution strong, We will be more sensitive about immigration, mainly from Syria, and we will not feed the immigrants to anyone. If our efforts had not been for the last two years, the Western club would have drawn Turkey into a war environment against Russia. We will not allow this as long as we are here. Another factor that we will talk about is definitely I hope that this process between Russia and Ukraine will come to an end with a serious and determined mediation."
