STATEMENT OF THE SPOKESPERSON OF THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS TO A QUESTION ON WHETHER THE EU HAS MADE ANY DEMARCHE REGARDING THE VISIT OF SUDANESE PRESIDENT TO ISTANBUL 

                                                    (Unofficial Translation)

The approaches of EU and of our some other allies on this issue are known to us. Likewise, Turkey’s approaches are known to our counterparts.

EU Presidency has brought to our attention its views, whereby our approach and the fact that this is a COMCEC meeting organised by OIC have been explained to them. Therefore, EU Presidency’s conveyance of a Note Verbal is not the case.
