Ankara, January 6 (Xinhua) — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told his U.S. counterpart, Donald Trump, in a phone call that Venezuela should not be drawn into instability. He made this statement at a press conference on Monday following a cabinet meeting.
"We do not support any actions that violate political legitimacy and international law anywhere in the world," said R.T. Erdoğan. He emphasized that "violating the sovereign rights of countries and international law is a risky step that could lead to serious global complications."
"In our phone conversation with US President Trump, we also conveyed our country's concerns to him. We emphasized that Venezuela should not be drawn into instability," the head of state said.
“Regarding Venezuela, we strive to do what is best and right for both Turkey and the friendly Venezuelan people,” he said, adding that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and the country’s people have always been friends of Turkey.
R.T. Erdogan warned that a global order dominated by the “right of might” rather than the “rule of law” would inevitably lead to instability, crises and conflicts.
Early Saturday morning, US forces launched airstrikes in Venezuela. They forcibly captured Maduro and his wife, who were then taken into custody in New York, sparking widespread condemnation.
