Turkey and other nations must still talk to Russia to help end the crisis in Ukraine, Turkey's presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin said on Sunday.
"If everybody burns bridges with Russia then who is going to talk to them at the end of the day," Ibrahim Kalin told the Doha international forum.
"Ukrainians need to be supported by every means possible so they can defend themselves ... but the Russian case must be heard, one way or the other," so that its grievances could be understood if not justified, Kalin added.
NATO member Turkey has good relations with both Russia and Ukraine and has sought to mediate in the month-long conflict.
