Erdogan: If world had reacted to invasion of Crimea, today there would be no war

Insufficient response of the world community to the annexation of Russia of Crimea in 2014 led to the current war of Russia against Ukraine. The President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan said at the opening ceremony of the Antalya diplomatic forum, reports Ukrinform.

“If all the West and the whole world raised their voice against the invasion of the Crimea in 2014, were we collided with today’s picture? But those who have been silent about the annexes of Crimea now they say something. Not justice is valid in one part of this world and Invalid in another part? What is this world? Unfortunately, the international community did not reveal the necessary sensitivity and did not provide the necessary support for eliminating this injustice, “said Erdogan.

By convincing the leader of Turkey, the current Russian aggression against Ukraine could be avoided if diplomatic instruments used to be used more efficiently.

“Today we are confronted with the destructive and painful consequences of problems that can be solved by a diplomatic way if you show a strong will in time. When we see how civilians leave their homes, children, fulfilled fear and alarms, cities in ruins, innocent dying Our sadness grows in geometric progression, “said Turkish President.
