Sending tanks to Ukraine is risk, not a solution, says Erdogan

Ankara, The Gulf Observer: The West’s supply of weapons, including tanks, to Ukraine will not bring about the solution to the Ukraine conflict, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said in a televised interview with the TRT channel according to media reports.

“I cannot say that I believe that sending tanks is a step towards resolving [the Ukraine conflict],” he said. “We expect Western countries to back our calls for negotiations between Ukraine and Russia.”

Referring to the buildup of arms supply to Ukraine, Erdogan emphasized that “this risky step is especially profitable for arms barons.”
