"Türkiye condemns attacks on civilians and emphasises the importance of restoring calm in the region,” says Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan at the Economic Cooperation Organisation meeting in Azerbaijan’s city of Shusha.Hakan Fidan said the current tensions in the region are yet another indication that the only path to sustainable and equitable peace in the Middle East is a two-state solution.
"This is an era of geopolitical changes and tensions. The geoeconomic landscape is also adapting accordingly. In a globalised world, regional dynamics and integration have become even more critical. ECO is working towards this goal," he said. In the new era, he stressed the importance of joint efforts to promote economic integration, facilitate trade, and enhance connectivity, including reducing barriers, simplifying customs procedures, and encouraging investments.
"Now is the time to focus all efforts in South Caucasus, which forms the strategic core of the ECO region, on achieving lasting peace, stability, and security," he said.
