“This is not an agreement, this is an appeal to the United Nations, to all the countries in the world to assist with demining, allocate money. Such a question cannot be resolved in one-two days,” the source said.

 

Answering the question about Turkey’s alleged negative reaction to the document, the source said that the Turkish side expressed readiness for work.
