Türkiye aims for Middle Corridor benefits with Kazakhstan
Speaking after the signing of several bilateral agreements with Kazakhstan, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Thursday said the East-West Middle Corridor was becoming more crucial and that the two countries are intent on promoting it more for supplying energy sources to the West.
“We aim to ship more oil from Kazakhstan via Türkiye to the global market,” he told a joint news conference with Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev in Astana.
Erdoğan arrived in Astana on Wednesday and received an official welcome by Tokayev on Thursday. After the ceremony and one-on-one talks with Tokayev, Erdoğan joined his Kazakh counterpart to chair the sixth meeting of the High-Level Strategic Cooperation Council of Türkiye and Kazakhstan.
Later, he was awarded by Tokayev with the Order of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi, which recognizes significant contributions from domestic and foreign scholars, state and public figures, as well as citizens to national statehood, public-political, social, cultural, and humanitarian fields. Erdoğan is the first recipient of the newly created Order, which is named after an influential Turkic poet and Sufi mystic born in Sayram of modern-day Kazakhstan.
During his trip, Erdoğan was accompanied by senior Turkish officials, including Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, Defense Minister Yaşar Güler, Trade Minister Ömer Bolat and head of the Turkish Presidency’s Communications Directorate, Burhanettin Duran. After completing his meetings in Astana, Erdoğan is scheduled to travel to the southern Kazakh city of Turkistan to attend the informal summit of the Organization of Turkic States (OTS) on Friday.
At the news conference, Erdoğan thanked Tokayev for his hospitality and hailed the cooperation council meeting where the two countries signed “numerous documents.”
“In our talks, we had a comprehensive discussion on our cooperation in several fields, including trade, transportation, energy, health care, mining, culture, education, technology and the defense industry. We continue encouraging our business world to increase investments in Kazakhstan and establish bonds that will reinforce our bilateral relations,” Erdoğan said, noting that he would later attend the Turkish-Kazakh Business Forum alongside Tokayev.
“We will hopefully witness the establishment of more collaborations between businesspeople of the two countries. Today, we also discussed projects that will advance our military and defense industry cooperation, projects that exponentially expand our trade and investment relations,” Erdoğan stated.
The two countries signed 13 agreements on Thursday. Among them were mutual incentives for bilateral investments, a deal on the establishment of cultural centers, amendments to judiciary assistance agreements, a joint scholarship program, a memorandum of understanding for the establishment of two schools in Kazakhstan by the Turkish Maarif Foundation, an investment agreement between Kazakhstan and Türkiye’s TAV Holding for expansion of Almaty International Airport, a cooperation agreement on construction of hospitals between Kazakhstan and Türkiye’s YDA İnşaat company, a memorandum of understanding between public broadcasters of the two countries, a cooperation agreement between KazMunayGas and the Turkish Petroleum Corporation (TPAO) on oil fields, a memorandum of understanding between KazMunayGas and TPAO for the development of joint oil and gas projects, a memorandum of understanding between the Astana International Financial Center and Istanbul Financial Center and an agreement to establish a joint initiative for production and maintenance of Anka unmanned aerial vehicles.
Erdoğan said Kazakhstan had a special place in their recent steps for diversification of energy sources. “Kazakhstan is a leading crude oil exporter, and we aim for the shipment of more Kazakh oil to the global market via our country. The importance of the Trans-Caspian East-West Middle Corridor, today’s equivalent of the Silk Road, has increased. We continue, along with Kazakhstan and other partners, to promote shipment of energy sources to the West, not only the transportation of goods,” he said.
The president said Türkiye was intent on building new bridges from the Eastern Mediterranean to Central Asia, with the principle of “unity in language, ideas and business.”
“We view delivering the common cultural treasures of the Turkic world, ideas of great personalities, their works and spiritual legacy to the future generations as our joint responsibility,” he said.
Erdoğan also praised heartfelt bonds between the two countries, something the entire nation witnessed after the February 2023 earthquakes in southern Türkiye. “In those difficult times, we always felt the support of our Kazakh brothers and sisters, the state of Kazakhstan,” he said. The two presidents earlier remotely attended a ceremony for the opening of a school built by Kazakhstan in Nurdağı, a district of Gaziantep affected by the earthquakes. The school is named after Khoja Ahmed Yasawi.
On Friday’s OTS summit, Erdoğan said Türkiye was grateful for Kazakhstan’s valuable contribution to the integration of the Turkic world “from the very beginning.” He said they were also pleased that the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) would be represented as an observer state at the summit. The TRNC is not internationally recognized, and Ankara mobilizes all efforts for global recognition of the state located on the divided island of Cyprus.
For his part, Tokayev told the news conference that Erdoğan had “a great share” in improving bilateral relations. “Türkiye is a country with a strong political influence, economy and international reputation,” he said.
He stated that Türkiye was an important strategic partner of Kazakhstan and the two countries were “united by centuries-old bonds of brotherhood, cultural and spiritual values.”
“We have the same goals, same direction. Our most important task is strengthening solidarity between our nations and developing the level of prosperity,” he said.
Tokayev hailed “great momentum in recent years in multi-dimensional cooperation between the two countries,” noting that the relations between the parliaments also improved. He stated that the sixth meeting of the Council was “very fruitful.” “We determined fields of priority to add more momentum to our partnership. We agreed upon strengthening our political, commercial, economic and cultural relations and signed documents to serve as the basis of our future cooperation goals.”
The president said Türkiye was among the biggest investors in Kazakhstan and Turkish businesspeople made investments worth $6 billion in Kazakhstan so far, adding that Kazakhstan’s investments in Türkiye reached around $2.5 billion. He underlined that some 4,000 Turkish firms operated in Kazakhstan and that this was a solid indicator of “long-term partnership.”
“Trade volume exceeded $5 billion, and given the potential of our economies, we have all the opportunities to increase it,” he said. He noted that they were already ready to support Turkish investors and invited companies to take part in long-term, major strategic projects.
“The new Constitution safeguards all property rights; it safeguards the rights of foreign investors. Our Turkish brothers can benefit from our Golden Visa program,” he said.
Tokayev echoed Erdoğan’s remarks regarding the Middle Corridor. “In the current geopolitical environment, the strategic importance of transportation and logistics has increased. The transportation of goods between our countries has advanced in a stable manner. Last year, railway transportation increased by 35% while land transportation increased by 5%. Our countries are bridges connecting the east and the west, and we should utilize this joint advantage,” he stated.
National Intelligence Academy (MIA) Vice President Hakkı Uygur said Tuesday that Türkiye’s growing intelligence and defense capabilities have elevated the country’s role within NATO and regional security affairs, ahead of next month’s alliance summit in Ankara.
Speaking to Anadolu Agency (AA) ahead of the NATO heads of state and government summit scheduled for July 7-8 in the Turkish capital, Uygur said the alliance is undergoing a significant transformation driven by shifting geopolitical realities, particularly following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“This year’s NATO summit will be highly significant,” Uygur said, noting that ongoing debates within the alliance over burden-sharing, European security and Washington’s strategic focus on the Asia-Pacific region have increased Türkiye’s importance within NATO.
“The fact that the summit is being held in Türkiye means that these critical discussions will take place in Türkiye,” he said. “As geopolitical developments become more prominent, countries like Türkiye, which play an influential role in the Caucasus, the Balkans, the Black Sea and the Middle East, inevitably come to the forefront.”
Uygur highlighted Ankara’s recent advances in intelligence and defense technologies, arguing that they have strengthened the country’s position both within the alliance and across its surrounding regions.
“In recent years, Türkiye’s intelligence capacity has developed significantly. Likewise, it has made important strides in the defense industry,” he noted. “All of this has made Türkiye an actor that cannot be ignored, both within the alliance and in regional developments.”
Uygur also underlined that NATO’s continued relevance depends on its ability to adapt to emerging threats and changing security conditions.
“Organizations that fail to keep pace with change and transformation eventually lose their relevance,” he said, adding that NATO has managed to survive beyond its original Cold War mission despite periodic internal disagreements.
According to Uygur, the alliance’s efforts in intelligence sharing, technological cooperation and counterterrorism demonstrate its continued vitality. However, he said recent developments have accelerated NATO’s transformation as member states increasingly share a common perception of security threats.
He argued that some of Türkiye’s national security concerns were not taken seriously by certain allies in previous years. The security environment created by Russia’s war in Ukraine, he said, has led European countries to view Moscow as a direct threat.
“Today NATO is changing and transforming,” Uygur said. “Only in this way can it adapt to new conditions. Otherwise, like many international organizations before it, it risks losing its meaning.”
Ten years after the defeated July 15, 2016 coup attempt, Türkiye is renewing efforts to secure the extradition of fugitive members of the Gülenist Terror Group (FETÖ), with authorities updating hundreds of legal files and preparing to present new evidence to foreign governments.
Justice Minister Akın Gürlek said Ankara has launched a new diplomatic and legal initiative targeting senior figures of the group who remain abroad, emphasizing that extradition requests are being revised in light of newly obtained evidence.
Speaking to Sabah newspaper, Gürlek said Turkish authorities had begun reexamining all existing extradition files and would resubmit updated dossiers to relevant countries.
“We have initiated new efforts regarding the extradition of the group’s leadership,” Gürlek said. “New evidence will be sent again to the relevant countries, and the files are being updated.”
Türkiye designates FETÖ as a terrorist group and holds the group responsible for orchestrating the July 15 coup attempt that killed more than 250 people and injured thousands.
According to Justice Ministry, Turkish judicial authorities have so far prepared 2,950 extradition requests involving 2,765 suspects and submitted them to 119 countries.
The largest number of requests were sent to Germany, the United States and Belgium. Authorities submitted 777 extradition files to Germany, 428 to the United States and 142 to Belgium.
However, many of the requests have either been rejected or remain unresolved. Germany has rejected 519 requests, while 355 cases submitted to the United States are still pending, according to ministry figures.
One of the most significant obstacles remains the position of Interpol. Turkish authorities have repeatedly sought Red Notices for wanted FETÖ members, but none have been approved by Interpol’s General Secretariat.
Turkish officials point to a 2018 decision by Interpol’s Executive Committee, which concluded that requests related to FETÖ could fall under Article 3 of the organization’s constitution, prohibiting intervention in matters considered political in nature.
Foreign governments have frequently cited asylum status, citizenship protections, concerns over alleged political motivations and potential risks of mistreatment as reasons for rejecting extradition requests. Ministry figures show that 1,072 extradition applications have received negative responses.
Only a limited number of extraditions have been completed. Authorities cited two extraditions from Romania and one from Algeria among the cases that resulted in successful returns to Türkiye.
Gürlek said Türkiye expects stronger cooperation from international partners, particularly from Interpol, stressing that Ankara remains one of the organization’s most active contributors both institutionally and operationally.
“Türkiye is among the leading countries providing active support to Interpol’s work,” he said. “Interpol should stand by Türkiye, without hesitation, against elements that threaten our national security.”
The minister said the campaign against FETÖ has increasingly taken on an international dimension as senior figures of the group remain outside Türkiye.
“The group’s leadership is abroad,” Gürlek said. “We have launched a new diplomatic and legal initiative. With newly obtained evidence, we will renew extradition requests. This issue will remain a priority topic in our discussions, particularly with the United States and European countries.”
He also said authorities continue monitoring the group’s recruitment activities and financial networks, describing FETÖ constantly adapts and restructures itself.
Among the individuals sought by Türkiye are several senior figures accused of holding key positions within the group. Turkish authorities have requested the extradition of individuals residing in the United States, including Cevdet Türkyolu, Mustafa Özcan, Ahmet Kara, Şerif Ali Tekalan, İsmail Büyükçelebi and former media executive Ekrem Dumanlı.
Other names sought by Ankara include Ahmet Kurucan and former Kaynak Holding chairman Naci Tosun.
Authorities have also launched extradition proceedings for Murat Yıldız, who is reportedly in Germany and is accused of providing technical support during the reading of the coup declaration on state broadcaster TRT on the night of July 15.
Meanwhile, Türkiye has requested the extradition of several suspects from Belgium and continues efforts to locate other wanted figures believed to be residing in different countries.
As the 10th anniversary of the failed coup approaches, Turkish officials say they remain committed to pursuing fugitive suspects through legal and diplomatic channels, arguing that accountability for the events of July 15 remains a national priority.
Türkiye and Azerbaijan on Monday marked the fifth anniversary of the signing of the Shusha Declaration, elevating their ties to an alliance, an ongoing process highlighted with a string of concrete steps. The two countries have enjoyed warm ties from time immemorial, but their formal alliance was put into the text with the Shusha Declaration signed on June 15, 2021, by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev, in the eponymous city of Azerbaijan. Since the declaration that elevated the status of strategic partnership, countries joined forces for cooperation for regional peace, solidarity and development.
The declaration is a testament to the comprehensive cooperation that will be maintained in all strategic fields, particularly national security. It envisions reinforcing partnership in many fields, from the military and defense industry to energy and transportation, from the economy to humanitarian relations. More importantly, the declaration affirmed joint action against threats and attacks against the independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity and border security of any one of the countries. Political pundits say the declaration is a turning point for reinforcing regional peace, security and cooperation.
It also includes a vision on the Turkic world, the two countries are part of and sets out goals for international promotion of Turkic cultural heritage, joint work on regional and global scale for development of the Turkic world. Erdoğan branded it as a road map in new era of Türkiye-Azerbaijan relations.
Azerbaijan demonstrated its commitment to brotherly relations after the signing of the declaration with solidarity with Türkiye following Feb. 6, 2023 earthquakes in southern Türkiye. Azerbaijan was the first country to extend aid to Türkiye in the aftermath of what Türkiye calls “disaster of century” which killed tens of thousands of people. The amount of aid from Azerbaijan to Türkiye reached to $45 million. Azerbaijan also sent search and rescue crews and healthcare personnel to aid Türkiye and organized an aid campaign. It also allocated financial support amounting to $100 million for recovery of Kahramanmaraş, the province at the epicenter of the earthquake. Today, Kahramanmaraş hosts an entire neighborhood built by Azerbaijan, as well as a school, culture center and a park.
In September 2023, Türkiye announced strong support for Azerbaijan’s operations in Karabakh against Armenian separatists.
The relations were further reinforced with additional agreements and protocols in defense industry cooperation. Two countries launched joint production in the sector. In March 2024, Türkiye’s leading defense firm Baykar signed a joint research, development and production agreement with Azerbaijan’s defense ministry for AI-supported unmanned systems, technical maintenance and logistics coordination. Azerbaijan also plans to acquire fifth-generation KAAN fighter jets manufactured by Türkiye.
Countries also renewed their commitment on energy cooperation. In March 2025, the Iğdır-Nakhchivan natural gas pipeline with a capacity of 2 million cubic meters of natural gas daily was inaugurated.
In terms of connectivity, two countries outlined the future of the Kars-Nakhchivan railroad in August 2025. The railroad is expected to be completed in 2029.
In a message to an international conference held in Shusha on the occasion of the anniversary, President Aliyev said Azerbaijan strived to boost cooperation with various countries in the aftermath of the era where Azerbaijan faced occupation, international threats and injustice. Aliyev underlined that his country pursued decisive policies for lasting peace and stability in its region.
He underlined that strengthening solidarity and cooperation with the Turkic world was essential for international cooperation. “Our family, the Turkic world, is evolving into an influential geopolitical hub in the 21st century,” he stated.
The conference entitled “Regional Contribution to Global Security: Peacebuilding in the South Caucasus” was organized by New Azerbaijan Party (YAP) and hosted officials and experts from several countries, including Türkiye, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Laos, Moldova, Cambodia, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Ukraine, Belarus, China, North Macedonia, Georgia and Serbia.
Speaking at the conference, YAP deputy chair and secretary-general Tahir Budagov described the Shusha Declaration as a document of conceptual and strategic vision for the future that serves to promote peace, stability, security and cooperation in the region. “Azerbaijan-Türkiye relations are upgraded to a new level and now constitute one of the most important pillars of regional security architecture,” Budagov said. He said the declaration was based on the late President Heydar Aliyev’s definition of relations as “one nation, two states.” “It is rational next sequence of revered National Leader Heydar Aliyev’s immortal idea of National Salvation ideology, in the current geopolitical conditions,” Budagov stated. He said peace in the region was strengthened not only through political agreements but also through the implementation of mutual economic interests. “Historical experience indicates that conflict risks de-escalate in the regions with advanced economic integration and the cooperation becomes a guarantee for stability. Future of South Caucasus should be built upon open communication lines, transportation lines, cooperation based on mutual benefit and regional integration,” Budagov also said.
Speaking at the event, Şamil Ayrım, a lawmaker from the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party) who also chairs Parliament’s Türkiye-Azerbaijan Interparliamentary Committee of Friendship, echoed Budagov’s remarks. “The Shusha Declaration is not merely a document improving relations between two brotherly countries. It is also a strategic road map for lasting peace, security, economic development and regional cooperation in the South Caucasus.”
Almost one year later, Türkiye’s top diplomat Hakan Fidan returns to Moscow for a two-day official visit. Fidan was invited by his counterpart, Sergey Lavrov. The visit on June 16-17 is expected to cover a meeting between Fidan and Lavrov, a reception by Russian President Vladimir Putin and a meeting with Turkish businesspeople in Russia. Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Black Sea security are among the top topics Turkish and Russian officials will have discussions.
Fidan last visited Russia for bilateral talks on May 26-27, 2025. He also held talks with Lavrov last April on the sidelines of the Antalya Diplomacy Forum in the eponymous Turkish city.
Foreign ministry sources said Fidan will highlight the importance of Turkish-Russian relations for regional stability and prosperity and will have comprehensive discussions on topics related to bilateral ties, particularly commerce, energy, security and consular affairs.
Sources said Fidan will also highlight Türkiye’s commitment to diplomatic efforts for a lasting peace between Ukraine and Russia, as well as readiness to host another round of talks like Türkiye did in 2022 and last year.
A Ukrainian official said that Kyiv would welcome an offer from Türkiye to host bilateral talks, which President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has proposed several times.
Kyiv’s ambassador to Ankara told Reuters last month that it wanted deeper ties with Türkiye, including joint production in the defense industry.
The minister will point out that rising tensions in the Black Sea threatened regional and global peace and recent incidents paved the way for multi-dimensional risks. Türkiye is among the countries littoral to Black Sea, which had its fair share of stray drones and naval mines from the Russia-Ukraine conflict washing on its shores or crashing into its territories, especially last year. On Sunday, an unmanned aerial vehicle was found off the coast of Türkiye’s Black Sea province of Bartın. He will note that Türkiye’s cease-fire proposal for the protection of energy infrastructure and ports and a mechanism for Black Sea maritime security still stands. In recent months, Ukraine and Russia have accused each other of drone attacks on tankers near Türkiye’s northern coast.
The foreign ministry sources said Fidan would also highlight Türkiye’s support for lasting peace between the United States and Iran and the resumption of the prewar status quo at the Strait of Hormuz, maintaining maritime security through the strait.
On Syria, Fidan will underline the importance of international support to the Syrian administration for stability, security and development of Türkiye’s southern neighbor. Russia’s foreign ministry said last Wednesday that cooperation with Syria was developing very actively and that Moscow was discussing with Damascus a “possible reformatting” of its military facilities in Syria. The December 2024 ousting of Bashar al-Assad, a close Russian ally, raised questions about the future of Russia’s Hmeimim airbase in Latakia and its naval facility at Tartous. But Moscow has since built relations with Syria’s new president Ahmed al-Sharaa. “Russian-Syrian cooperation is developing very actively,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said when asked about reported plans for the creation of a logistics hub in Tartous to distribute goods imported from Russia across Syria. “Within the framework of contacts with Syrian partners, the issue of Russia’s military presence in Syria is also being discussed, including in the context of a possible reformatting of the functionality of Russian military facilities.”
Sources said Fidan would also raise the issue of Israel, how its aggressive and expansionist policies threatened security and stability in the entire region and will highlight the need to prevent Israel’s violations of the cease-fire in Gaza, steps to expand illegal settlements in the West Bank and occupation of Lebanon.
Additionally, the minister will reiterate Türkiye’s support for the peace process between Azerbaijan and Armenia and emphasize that peace in the South Caucasus would also benefit Türkiye and Russia. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, whose last days of his previous term were marked with escalating tensions with Russia, won elections this month. Yerevan works with Azerbaijan on a peace deal that may speed up Türkiye’s own normalization with Armenia.
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Monday said Türkiye had consistently pursued a prudent, measured and diplomacy-first policy since the outbreak of attacks on Iran, emphasizing Ankara’s efforts to promote regional stability and support diplomatic solutions.
Speaking at a news conference after a Cabinet meeting in the capital Ankara, Erdoğan said the deal had brought relief to a region that had remained on edge for months.
“From the very first day of the attacks on Iran, we maintained a prudent, calm and diplomacy-first stance,” Erdoğan said. “We did not succumb to provocations, nor did we abandon fairness.”
The president stressed that Türkiye had worked to preserve its relations with neighboring countries while coordinating closely with allies and Gulf partners throughout the crisis.
“We were not among those pouring fuel on the fire of war; we were among those raising the voice of peace,” Erdoğan said.
He noted that Ankara strongly supported mediation efforts led by Pakistan, alongside Qatar and Saudi Arabia, while remaining vigilant against attempts to deepen divisions in the region and drive wedges between neighboring nations.
Erdoğan also said Türkiye’s presidential system had enabled state institutions to respond effectively to regional crises, arguing that the country’s governance structure had become a key advantage during periods of instability.
Referring to the agreement announced between Washington and Tehran, Erdoğan described it as an important step toward ending hostilities and easing tensions across the broader Middle East.
‘NATO summit to serve as milestone for future of bloc’
Erdoğan also highlighted Türkiye’s preparations to host a series of major international gatherings in 2026, led by the NATO Leaders Summit scheduled for July 7-8 in Ankara.
Emphasizing Türkiye’s longstanding role within the alliance, Erdoğan said the country remains one of NATO’s most important members and continues to play a key role in safeguarding the alliance’s southeastern flank. He noted that Türkiye commands NATO’s second-largest land force and remains among the leading contributors to the alliance’s peace missions worldwide.
The president said Ankara aims to ensure that the upcoming summit serves as a milestone for the future of NATO’s security architecture, adding that the alliance’s strength depends on preserving the spirit of solidarity and cooperation among allies.
Erdoğan also rejected recurring predictions about NATO’s decline, saying the alliance has repeatedly adapted to changing global conditions and emerging security threats.
The president noted that Türkiye’s military capabilities, dynamic defense industry, strategic location and geopolitical importance will continue to make it a leading actor within the alliance.
He said expectations surrounding the Ankara summit have grown due to both Türkiye’s position within NATO and developments across the region. He added that extensive preparations are underway to welcome world leaders attending the gathering.
Beyond the NATO summit, Erdoğan noted that Türkiye will host several other major international events in 2026, including the NATO Parliamentary Summit in Istanbul on June 28-29, the 13th summit of the Organization of Turkic States in Ankara later in the year, the 77th International Astronautical Congress and the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Antalya. He said Türkiye intends to organize all of these events in a manner befitting the country’s international standing.
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke by phone with António Guterres on Monday to discuss regional and global developments, with the leaders exchanging views on ongoing diplomatic efforts and key international issues, the Presidential Communications Directorate said.
In a statement on Turkish social media platform NSosyal, the directorate said Erdoğan told Guterres that Türkiye is working to help establish peace and stability, particularly in Iran, Gaza and the Horn of Africa.
He said the diplomatic opportunity to resolve issues between the U.S. and Iran should be utilized, adding that the international community has responsibilities to prevent the process from being sabotaged.
Earlier on Monday, Erdoğan hailed the agreement between the U.S. and Iran as an important step toward achieving peace and stability in the region.
U.S. President Donald Trump announced Sunday that an agreement with Iran had been finalized and said he was authorizing the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the removal of a U.S. naval blockade.
The Pakistani premier also announced early Monday that the U.S. and Iran have reached a peace agreement following intensive negotiations, with both sides declaring an immediate and permanent end to military operations across all fronts, including in Lebanon.
Both Washington and Tehran later confirmed the announcement.
Pakistan has been mediating between the two sides since securing a cease-fire on April 8, weeks after the United States and Israel launched attacks on Iran on Feb. 28.
Erdoğan also said that the effective continuation of the U.N. missions’ activities in Syria is important and that Türkiye will continue to provide the necessary support in this regard.
The latest developments on the island of Cyprus, as well as the humanitarian situation in Gaza and Lebanon, were also discussed during the call, the directorate said.
