Turkey is quite worried about Ukraine-Russia. The reason why Turkey is rushing into this issue is because some of its interests are involved.
Turkey has been selling drones in Ukraine since 2019. Ukraine using the Bayrakta TV 2 drones made by them.
If Russia-Ukraine war breaks out, Turkish drone exports will be threatened. Turkey has agreed to sell more drones to Ukraine.
The country is working to build a factory to build the drone on Ukrainian land.
Another issue is that Turkey is involved in several military operations in Syria side by side with Russia. Where they are working against the United States, Iran and the Kurds.
Moreover, Turkey is economically dependent on Russia. Because every year many tourists come to the country from Russia. Through this they earn foreign currency.
Another big issue is that Turkey is a member of NATO. And they have the second highest number of troops in NATO. As a result, if NATO goes to war with Russia, Turkey must be first.
That is why Turkey wants to remain neutral in any way. First of all, Erdogan's efforts are to bring the two neighbors back from the battlefield to the negotiating table. That is why Erdogan is going to visit Ukraine in the first week of February to ease the tension.
