We give priority to ensuring stability in the eastern Mediterranean and Cyprus, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said.
Speaking at an iftar dinner hosted for foreign ambassadors in Ankara, the Turkish President said he supported all kinds of normalization steps that would help create an environment of peace and stability in the region around Turkey.
"We give priority to ensuring stability in the eastern Mediterranean and Cyprus and are making efforts for a just, realistic and viable solution. We believe that there is an important opportunity for peace in our region with the liberation of the territories of occupied Azerbaijan. We are sincerely continuing our normalization process with our neighbour Armenia so that this opportunity is not lost. We are trying to prevent new tensions and maintain stability in the Balkans, where we have historical, cultural and human ties. We are determined to maintain the momentum we have achieved in our relations with the countries of the Middle East, in particular the United Arab Emirates and Israel. We continue to protect the Palestinian cause and to support our Palestinian brothers and sisters with all our means. On the other hand, we are glad that the strategic mechanism we established with the US has become operational," the Turkish President said.
