TURKEY PERSPECTIVE

Ankara treats the Easter ceasefire with the confidence of a country that considers itself the natural mediator of the conflict. Daily Sabah details the 32-hour truce — Saturday evening through Sunday — with hourly precision few other outlets provide. Turkey, which facilitated the Black Sea grain deal and hosted negotiations in March 2022, frames every pause as validation of its thesis: only diplomacy, not weapons, will end this war. The Turkish framing is deliberately stripped of analysis — Daily Sabah reports facts without taking sides between Moscow and Kyiv, reflecting Ankara's position of maintaining relations with both capitals.
