Shooting at commercial and civilian ships in the Black Sea is unacceptable. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced this while speaking at the 16th ambassadors' conference in Ankara, Anadolu reports.

He emphasized that Ankara strictly warns both sides of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict against such actions.

"Turkey strictly followed the Montreux Convention, preventing the spread of the conflict to the Black Sea. However, recent mutual attacks are a serious threat to the safety of navigation in the Black Sea. Shooting at commercial and civilian ships will not benefit anyone. We have clearly conveyed our warnings on this issue to both sides," the Turkish president said.

Erdogan recalled Turkey's mediation efforts for the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict, which, according to him, gave tangible humanitarian results, in particular, the organization of direct negotiations between the parties in Istanbul, the Black Sea grain initiative and the exchange of prisoners.
