At the meeting with the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye today, President of the Riigikogu (Parliament of Estonia) Jüri Ratas acknowledged Türkiye’s efforts in helping Ukraine.

Ratas said at the meeting with Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee Akif Çağatay Kılıç and members of the Committee that the relations between Estonia and Turkey were excellent and the two countries were good allies in NATO. He thanked Turkey for their presence and contribution in the Baltic States and Poland, where Turkey has participated in air policing missions. “I also thank you for your efforts in supporting Ukraine, including in restoring grain exports,” Ratas said.

The President of the Riigikogu also underlined the importance of Finland’s and Sweden’s accession to NATO, which was also discussed at the meeting with the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Riigikogu with their Turkish colleagues. Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Riigikogu Andres Sutt said at the meeting that when Finland and Sweden join NATO, it would increase the security of our region and therefore it was important that the accession process reached a result soon as a joint effort of all parties.

The Foreign Affairs Committees discussed Russia’s aggression in Ukraine as well as the situation in Iran and Syria and the views of the European Union on the events in its neighbourhood. The meeting was also attended by members of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Riigikogu Maria Jufereva-Skuratovski, Eerik-Niiles Kross, Marko Mihkelson and Indrek Saar.

The delegation of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Parliament of Türkiye is in Estonia at the invitation of the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Riigikogu. The delegation of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Riigikogu visited Türkiye in October.
