As stated in his written statement, the chief of American diplomacy discussed with the head of the Turkish Foreign Ministry "the crisis in Ethiopia and joint efforts aimed at maintaining stability in the Black Sea region." "They also discussed Russia's aggression against Ukraine and the situation in Armenia and Azerbaijan, as well as in Afghanistan," Price noted.
