Erdogan picks natural gas hub with Putin as opposed to taking sides in Ukraine conflict

Türkiye is turning into a major natural gas hub upon which numerous foreign countries will be able to rely in the future, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Saturday, adding that its balanced stance on the Ukraine conflict has helped Ankara to avert an energy crisis.

During a speech at an event in the eastern Turkish province of Malatya, Erdogan lambasted the opposition, which had urged him to pick a side in the Ukrainian crisis. He said if Ankara had refused to engage in dialogue with both Moscow and Kiev, it would have found itself in the same vulnerable position as the European Union.
