Claim 1: “The leadership of Turkey, during contacts with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky, has repeatedly stated its readiness to organize negotiations on a settlement in Ukraine, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan stated at a press conference following the Antalya Diplomatic Forum.”

SINGLE SOURCE

The claim specifies that Hakan Fidan stated this at a press conference following the Antalya Diplomatic Forum. While web search results mention Hakan Fidan and the Antalya Diplomacy Forum, none of the provided evidence explicitly quotes or confirms the full statement regarding repeated readiness to organize negotiations with Putin and Zelensky specifically at that forum. The evidence is suggestive but lacks direct corroboration of the full claim's context.

Claim 2: “"In meetings with Mr. Putin and Mr. Zelensky, we have repeatedly stated our readiness to host such negotiations. That is, Turkey is always ready to organize negotiations at the leadership level, and we are also ready to conduct discussions at the technical level. We have no problem with that. We are ready to act as before," Fidan emphasized.”

SINGLE SOURCE

The claim is a direct quote attributed to Hakan Fidan regarding readiness for negotiations at leadership and technical levels. The evidence provides web search results mentioning Hakan Fidan and the readiness for negotiations (e.g., 'Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan stressed the importance of an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine and stressed the readiness of the parties for direct negotiations'), but none of the provided evidence contains the exact, detailed quote provided in the claim. Therefore, it cannot be corroborated by the available sources.

Claim 3: “Fidan added that Turkey "is also ready to support all negotiations held in other countries."”

SINGLE SOURCE

The claim states Fidan is ready to support negotiations held in countries other than Turkey. Web search results confirm Hakan Fidan's statements about Turkey's readiness to host negotiations (e.g., 'Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan reiterated that Turkey is ready to host the next round of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine'). However, none of the provided evidence explicitly contains the phrase or concept that he is ready to support negotiations held *in other countries* (i.e., not hosted by Turkey). This specific detail is not confirmed by the evidence.
