Turkey will not endorse a peace plan involving territorial concessions from Ukraine, according to a member of parliament.

Turkey will not support a peace plan that involves freezing the war in Ukraine and making territorial concessions to Moscow, reported on November 29 Ukrinform citing Ukrainian MP Akhtem Chiygoz.

Earlier, Chiygoz participated in a meeting of the friendship groups of the parliaments of Ukraine and Turkey in Ankara. During the event, Turkish officials expressed their support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, including the Crimea Peninsula occupied by Russia, Chiygoz stated.

“There are constant accusations, especially from Russia, that Turkey is committed to a peace formula that involves freezing the conflict and making concessions in territorial integrity,” he said.

“During our two-day visit to Turkey, we held meetings at a very high level, and everywhere we were assured that this is not true,” he emphasized.

Turkey supports Ukraine in many ways, and both countries are interested in developing bilateral strategic relations, including parliamentary cooperation, the MP noted.

“Turkey is not only hopeful but is also working to ensure that changes following the elections in America do not affect the provision of assistance to Ukraine. These were important messages for us. We will convey them to the authorities and the people of Ukraine,” the MP stated.

“This visit also laid the groundwork for our bilateral cooperation to be closer, and the role of our parliaments in it will now be more active,” Chiygoz added.

On November 18, Bloomberg reported, citing unnamed sources, that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan would propose his peace plan for Ukraine during G20 negotiations.

It was reported that Erdoğan's proposal included Ukraine's abandonment of NATO membership for at least 10 years, freezing the conflict at the current front line, providing Ukraine with weapons, and deploying international troops in a demilitarized buffer zone in Donbas.

The Kremlin rejected the peace plan reportedly put forward by Erdoğan, calling it “unacceptable.”
