Türkiye calls for respecting Ukraine's territorial integrity in conflict resolution

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has outlined a crucial condition for achieving a "fair" resolution to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

"A fair resolution of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict must be found within the framework of Ukraine's territorial integrity," he stated in an interview with the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet, according to Caliber.Az.

Fidan emphasized that territorial integrity is a key aspect that must be considered in any negotiations and peace initiatives. He noted that only respect for Ukraine's sovereignty and borders can lead to lasting peace and stability in the region.

Additionally, the minister expressed hope that the international community, including key players, will actively facilitate pathways to a peaceful resolution of the conflict.

He also underscored Türkiye's readiness to continue its efforts in mediating and supporting dialogue between the conflicting parties to ensure a fair and sustainable solution.

Notably, Türkiye has consistently emphasized the importance of Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty amidst the military conflict with Russia. The country has provided military support to Ukraine, notably through the sale of Bayraktar TB2 drones. These drones have played a significant role in Ukraine's defence strategy and have garnered international attention.
