The 84 Meskhetian Turks located in Kherson, Ukraine, where the war continues, are being brought to Turkey via Russia.
Although some people had problems due to lack of documents, the group successfully entered Russia.
Necessary preparations were made before greeting the convoy, which will enter Turkey via Georgia. The convoy is expected to reach Russia’s Georgia border late today.
Speaking at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Tianjin, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan criticized the international community for failing to stop Israel’s attacks on Gaza, where he said “babies, children, and the elderly die of starvation.” He called for urgent UN reform, arguing the current system cannot end oppression in the Middle East.
Erdoğan also highlighted Türkiye’s role in supporting regional peace efforts in Syria, the South Caucasus, and Central Asia, stressing cooperation through the Turkic States Organization and major transport projects like the Middle Corridor and Development Road. He said Türkiye seeks a just global order based on diplomacy, trade, and stability.
