Türkiye Reaffirms Backing for Somalia
(MENAFN) Türkiye underscored its “strong support” for Somalia on Saturday while firmly opposing Israel’s recognition of the Somaliland region.
Deputy Minister Ambassador Musa Kulaklıkaya delivered the remarks as he presided over the 22nd Extraordinary Session of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, held in Saudi Arabia to discuss Israel’s decision.
Kulaklıkaya “emphasized Türkiye’s strong support for Somalia, underlined the rejection of Israel’s recognition of the Somaliland region as being in contravention of international law,” according to a statement from the Turkish Foreign Ministry shared on the social media platform NSosyal.
He also “reiterated Türkiye’s unwavering support for all international efforts aimed at protecting the rights of the Palestinian people and achieving lasting peace and stability in the region.”
Israel announced on Dec. 26 that it had formally recognized Somaliland as an independent and sovereign state, becoming the only nation to do so. The decision sparked widespread condemnation across the region, with critics labeling it unlawful and a threat to global peace and security.
Somaliland has functioned as a de facto self-governing territory since declaring independence from Somalia in 1991, but it has not been granted international recognition as a sovereign state.
