TURKEYSTATEDOMINANT ANGLE
Istanbul maintains its double standard in response to Russian strikes on Ukraine: condemnation of civilian casualties in principle, while preserving diplomatic channels open with Moscow and Kyiv.
Dominant angle identified โ does not reflect unanimity of this countryโs media
KEY POINTS
