When asked if there is hope that Turkey's role as a negotiating platform will be preserved, Dzhelyal replied: "There is such hope."

Dzhelyal believes that Turkey still remains one of the best platforms for future negotiations at the level of delegations, at the level of leaders.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan constantly reiterates that he personally and his country are ready to help us achieve a just and lasting peace. Turkey has demonstrated its position in support of our country. We can trust it in this process and in all others

The Ambassador noted that Turkey is ready to host negotiating delegations and leaders of Ukraine and Russia.

The question is that now this process is somewhat complicated due to the active participation of other international partners. Therefore, how the further process of achieving peace will look, we will find out in the coming days. However, I can assure you that Turkey is ready to host negotiating delegations, leaders of countries. The decision, of course, is also up to our country, our leadership, and our partners
