Erdogan, spoke to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who welcomed the decision, saying it was “necessary” at the moment.

Putin added that he raised the issue on his own during a recent meeting with the Turkish president in Russia.
“It’ is clear why the Turkish leader is talking about this. Apparently, he believes that Turkey can be a permanent member of the Security Council. But we are not alone, and it is not up to Russia to decide for ourselves.
“I then told Mr. “Erdogan, if we violate the right to veto permanent membership, the UN will die and on the same day it will be transformed into the League of Nations, the only forum for dialogue,” Putin said.
“We do not want to undermine the very foundations of the United Nations,” Putin said, adding that the right to veto was a “fundamental right” of the United Nations today.

“All of this must be taken into account, and we must not make mistakes in this matter,” Putin said.
