Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed disagreement with what he called “negative attitudes” by world leaders toward Russian President Vladimir Putin over the invasion of Ukraine.
“Both leaders and prime ministers have negative attitudes toward Putin,” Erdogan told a group of Turkish journalists in New York Wednesday evening. “Of course, we do not have the same attitude. I do not find these attitudes right. Because Russia is not an ordinary country.”
