will be assessed with all interested sides if it is deemed necessary to establish regional stability and peace, the statement said.
After recent events, it is impossible to ensure European security without our country, the Turkish Defence Ministry insisted.
As a member of NATO and the OSCE, Trkiye is an integral part of the European security architecture with its developed defence industry, important role in resolving regional crises and a powerful army, Trkiye further emphasised.
Background Earlier, there were media reports that Trkiye, in conversations with representatives of Ukraine and Russia, had indicated its openness to the idea of deploying its military on Ukrainian territory as part of a peacekeeping force.
