Like the Brazilian government’s proposal to mediate peace and put an end to the war between Russia and Ukraine, there are several other attempts to mediate the conflict, said this Friday (14th) the Turkish ambassador to Brazil, Halil Ibrahim Akça, on the anniversary of the failed coup attempt in Turkey, on July 15, 2016. “There are attempts by China, African countries, Ukraine itself, and also the Turkish offer, among others,” said the ambassador. at a press conference at the ceremony. The ambassador understands that the chance of any of the peace mediations being successful will depend on what happens in Ukrainian territory, at each moment of the confrontation. “The success of the attempts is influenced by the progress of what happens in the field [de batalha, entre Rússia e Ucrânia] and yet if [as tentativas] occur at the right time, at a certain time [certo]. I think that everything goes hand in hand with what is happening there, in the context of the conflict itself”. Halil Ibrahim Akça said, at a press conference in Brasilia, that Turkey itself has tried to create bridges to resolve the issue. “In the early days [da guerra], Turkey tried to be a mediator, but as the situation progressed, the scenario changed. Therefore, I cannot comment on the timing of the Brazilian attempt”. On the possibility of sending a peacekeeping mission or creating a group of neutral nations to try to facilitate negotiations to put an end to the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, as proposed by President Luiz Inácio Lula Silva, the ambassador did not want to take a position, due to not knowing the unfolding of other facts pertinent to the war. “I don’t know, because after the Brazilian offer, there were other developments and I cannot say how the dialogues are going”. NATO Halil Ibrahim Akça assessed that the recent change in the decision of the President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, to accept Sweden in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is due to changes promoted in the Swedish legislation to not harbor terrorists in his country and not sponsor terrorist acts, for example, with the sale of weapons. “The conversation was about changing the laws of Sweden, which have now even been changed, in part of their constitution. Although not enough, Sweden has taken some actions that help in the fight against terrorism. President Erdogan will send the documents to the Turkish parliament to ratify Sweden’s accession to NATO, Ambassador Shift said. “Now, this proposal still has to be approved by the Turkish parliament. And that approval should take a few months.” Coup Talk with journalists and a photo exhibition mark the seventh anniversary of Turkey’s failed coup attempt on July 15, 2016. That night, factions of the country’s armed forces tried to overthrow President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the government by Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım. At the time, Turkish government buildings, such as the National Assembly and the Presidential Complex, were bombed and the military managed to control strategic locations, but, according to the ambassador, the coup failed because there would have been strong rejection by citizens of the coup attempt. In the conflict, 251 people died and 2,000 were injured. Currently, in Turkey, the 15th of July is celebrated as the Day of Democracy and National Unity of Turkey.
