Akar said that his country will continue to stand by Kosovo, and will do its best to contribute to security and defense issues.
He added, “The comfort, security and stability of our brothers and friends here (in the Balkans) makes us happy, and otherwise sad.”
He pointed out that the Turkish army, in addition to its tasks in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the United Nations, the European Union and the European Organization for Security and Cooperation “AGİT”, is present in many brotherly and friendly countries within the framework of bilateral relations.
