"THEY ARE NOT LEAVING YEMEN TO YEMENIS"
Celalettin Duran, Director General of the Center for International Relations and Diplomacy, who made the opening speech of the program; “We want to announce the situation in Yemen, in the 8th year of the war, both to our country and to the world. The heavy continuation of the war and the fact that the internal balances are completely shaken cause many countries to openly intervene in Yemen. They are not leaving Yemen to the Yemenis. The country's most valuable trading points are being destabilized. We have an ancient relationship with Yemen because of our historical ties. It is impossible not to see what happened there. What can be done for Yemen? Today, we will seek the answer to this question,” he said.
