Erdogan Proposes Stopping War Before It Becomes More Complicated Than Liepāja Museum Exhibition

Turkish President Erdogan yesterday announced a sensational idea - war could be stopped before it becomes a global problem. Such a revelation in international politics is considered revolutionary, as no one has previously imagined that conflicts can be resolved through talks rather than bigger explosions.

"If diplomacy is given a chance, it is completely possible," said Erdogan, which in Liepāja only caused amazement at such simple logic. Local pensioner Jānis commented: "We in Liepāja have long known that problems are better solved by talking rather than acting out. Even at the Liepāja museum you can learn that the most interesting parts of history are precisely about how people learned to live in peace."

Meanwhile, Iran's foreign minister announced that Tehran has "very bitter experience" with American negotiations, which is received with understanding in Liepāja. As local café owner Maija said: "We also have bitter experience with Riga's promises about road repairs, but we still try to negotiate."

Erdogan's proposal about diplomacy as a solution surprised everyone except Liepāja residents, who have known for centuries that even the most complicated situations can be resolved with common sense. While the Middle East tries to figure out how to stop war, Liepāja continues to prove that the best strategy is simply not to start foolishness.
