Szijjarto: Turkic states can play important role in stabilizing Afghanistan

Thanks to the important role of the Turkic states, the stabilization of Afghanistan can eliminate a very serious source of the global terrorist threat, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said at a joint press conference with the Secretary General of the Organization of Turkic States, Kubanychbek Omuraliev.

Report quotes the foreign minister as saying the Organization of Turkic States is a true peace organization. According to Szijjarto, regarding the three armed conflicts that currently seriously threaten global security, the Turkic states seem to have the best opportunities to resolve these issues:

"Türkiye's successful mediation in the war in our neighborhood is highly appreciated by Hungary. This is not only due to the signing of the Black Sea grain deal a few years ago, but also because last week, after a three-year hiatus, direct contact between Russia and Ukraine took place again in Istanbul, Türkiye."

He recalled that the text of the peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan was also agreed upon:

"They managed to finalize the text of the peace agreement. This shows that countries that have been at war and hostile to each other for many years can achieve peace. And today, a statement was adopted on Afghanistan, which also sends a hopeful signal."
