In a virtual address to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says that the unresolved Kashmir and Palestine issue has damaged the credibility of international organizations.
According to the details, heads of state of various countries are addressing the 75th annual session of the UNGA via video link due to the coronavirus. Addressing the General Assembly on video link, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan took a firm stand on the Kashmir issue.
Tayyip Erdogan said that Kashmir issue is key in peace and stability in South Asia but this issue has not been resolved till date. “Steps to end the special status of Occupied Kashmir have complicated the issue. We are in favor of resolving the issue through dialogue,” he said.

Furthermore, the Turkish President said that the Kashmir issue needs to be resolved in accordance with the UN resolutions and especially the aspirations of the Kashmiri people.
Referring to the Palestinian issue, he said that the Palestinian issue has also become complicated, but the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with the capital Jerusalem is the only solution to the Palestinian issue.
He added that reforms are needed to empower the United Nations, while the Iran nuclear program dispute should be resolved through diplomacy and dialogue in accordance with international law.
