Turkey Reaffirms Support for Morocco’s Territorial Integrity in Western Sahara Dispute

"We fully support the territorial integrity of our brother country, the Kingdom of Morocco," said the Turkish Foreign Minister, at a press conference following his meeting with his counterpart Nasser Bourita.

According to Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, "there was a misunderstanding about a video broadcast by one of the Turkish television channels, which has been corrected, but the position of Turkey and our government is very clear, we fully support the integrity of our brother country the Kingdom of Morocco".

"We do not support any separatist group or any agenda, and of course any problem should be resolved peacefully. This is our common position and we will continue to support not only the territorial integrity of our brother country the Kingdom of Morocco, but also the stability and security for this very important country for us, for the Muslim world and for this part of the world," clarified the Turkish minister.

A Turkish television channel recently broadcast the interview with separatist Aminatou Haidar, who has always opposed the territorial integrity of Morocco, which caused a lively controversy.
