Kremlin does not share Erdogan’s stance on Israel
STEPANAKERT, DECEMBER 14, ARTSAKHPRESS:When commenting on Erdogan’s statement, in which he called Israel a terrorist state and suggested that East Jerusalem should be declared the capital of Palestine, Peskov said that "we know what the position of the Turkish president is."
"We are aware of it but it is not in line with our position. Russia’s position on Jerusalem and the Middle Eastern settlement is well known," he added.
At the same time, Peskov declined to answer the question as to how Erdogan’s view could affect efforts to resolve the Palestine-Israel conflict. "I have nothing more to say," he noted.
