The Turkish Foreign Minister, Mevlut Cavusoglu reiterated on May 11 his country’s support of Morocco’s autonomy plan for Western Sahara, reported MAP.

“I would like to reiterate Turkey’s position in favor of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of countries, and reaffirm Turkey’s support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of brotherly Morocco,” said Turkey’s Foreign Affairs Minister during a joint press briefing with Moroccan Foreign Affairs Minister Nasser Bourita, added MAP.

Bourita said that Morocco “appreciates Turkey’s position regarding the Sahara issue,” he stated, adding that “Morocco also supports Turkey in its fundamental issues,” according to the same source.

Turkey’s move came after both officials held talks during the two-day global coalition meeting in Marrakech.
