Recep Tayyip Erdogan noted that Türkiye supports the initiative to organise humanitarian corridors for the evacuation of the wounded, not only in the context of the situation between the Russian Federation and Ukraine, but also in regard to the developments in Syria, Libya, and Azerbaijan. “We take the wounded from there, provide them with medical treatment and then send them back home,” the Turkish leader stressed.

According to Recep Tayyip Erdogan, ‘this is a humanitarian obligation as well as a Turkish moral obligation’. Ankara will continue to engage in this work.
