Russia’s interest must be protected in new security architecture
Every step we take now with regards to Russia militarily, politically, economically and otherwise, will have an impact on that new security architecture,” Ibrahim Kalin, a chief adviser for President of Turkey, said
Moscow’s case must be heard as part of a new security architecture established between Russia and the Western bloc, Ibrahim Kalin, a chief adviser and spokesman for President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey, said in an interview with New York Times published on Saturday.
According to him, “the Russian case must be heard, because after this war, there will have to be a new security architecture established between Russia and the Western bloc”
“We cannot afford another Cold War — it will be bad for everyone and costly for the entire international political and financial system,” Kalin said as quoted by the newspaper.
“Every decision we make, every step we take now with regards to Russia militarily, politically, economically and otherwise, will have an impact on that new security architecture,” he added.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said on February 24 that in response to a request by the heads of the Donbass republics he had made a decision to carry out a special military operation in Ukraine, stressing that Moscow had no plans of occupying Ukrainian territories. Western countries responded to the actions of the Russian authorities by slapping sanctions against physical and legal entities.
