In a statement published on its official page, the Ministry also welcomed the repeal of House of Representatives resolutions No. (1) and No. (6) of 2020, which had rejected the ratification of the two Memoranda of Understanding concluded between the two countries and called for the severance of political relations with the Republic of Türkiye.
