He added that the issue of Ukraine’s membership is not something that should be rushed.
“When we make a decision, we always take into account the position of other NATO member countries, we discuss these possible issues at the negotiating table and make a final decision accordingly,” the Turkish president said.
Erdogan noted that Turkey will “monitor the development of events, the discussions, and we will make a final decision accordingly.”
“These are not decisions that need to be made in a hurry,” the Turkish leader emphasized.
His comments are likely to disappoint President Volodymyr Zelenskyi, who is due to present his “victory plan” at the White House this week, which includes a demand for Ukraine’s NATO membership.
In his message on Telegram late on Tuesday, Zelensky said that he “discussed the implementation of the peace formula” with Erdogan.
