BLUF: Turkey, following unsatisfactory peace talks on the Ukraine issue in Saudi Arabia, has expressed willingness to host the next round and emphasized the necessity of involving Russia for effective results.
OSINT:
After a round of Ukraine peace talks in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia proved unfruitful, mainly due to Russia’s absence, Turkey has put forward its intent to host the next round. The Jeddah meeting was allegedly aimed at persuading BRICS countries to align more strongly with Kiev. A recent article in the Turkish daily Hurriyet suggested, “it should not be surprising if Turkey becomes the host of the third round.” The piece also pointed out Turkey’s potential to “openly and clearly speak to all sides” of the conflict. Importantly, Turkish officials present in Jeddah stressed the foundational belief that “results cannot be achieved without involving Russia in the process.”
RIGHT:
A Libertarian Republic Constitutionalist might applaud Turkey’s individualistic initiative to host the Ukraine peace talks, recognizing it as an execution of a nation’s sovereignty and its right to establish its own foreign policy. However, they could take issue with Turkey’s appeal for Russia’s involvement, viewing it as potential overreach or coercion if it inhibits Russia’s sovereign choice of participation.
LEFT:
A National Socialist Democrat could view Turkey’s potential hosting of the peace talks as a welcome step towards resolving international conflicts through dialogue. They could also agree with Turkey’s perspective of involving Russia in the talks as necessary, seeing forging diplomatic links and broad-based consensus as key to resolving global conflicts, even if it means negotiating with countries accused of aggressive actions.
AI:
From an objective analytical perspective, the inclusion and collaboration of all relevant parties in diplomatic discussions is necessary for collective buy-in and effectiveness, considering the interconnected web of international relations. Russia’s involvement seems to be an integral part of reaching a solution to the Ukraine issue due to its geographic proximity and political history. Turkey’s offer to host the subsequent peace talks indicates its increasing role as a mediator in global conflicts. However, the effectiveness of future peace talks is contingent upon the participation of all parties involved and their willingness to negotiate in good faith.
