Türkiye's Deputy Foreign Minister on Monday highlighted the country's critical contributions to the fight against ISIL, while expressing concerns over the destabilizing activities of the PKK/YPG in the region.

A senior United States official has described Türkiye's role in its region as a contributing power to stability and peace, reflecting its importance in the world, and refuted claims that the NATO ally is distancing itself from the Western bloc.

Türkiye has urged once again that the United States should cut its support to the YPG in the fight against ISIL, an issue the two allies are at odds with since 2015.

Turkish Deputy Foreign Minister Nuh Yılmaz emphasized the need for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government to be held accountable for human rights violations and massacres in Gaza and other occupied Palestinian territories.

Yılmaz attended the 50th session of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Council of Foreign Ministers (CFM) in Yaounde, Cameroon.

Senior Turkish and Russian diplomats have discussed the latest developments in Syria amid the latter's efforts to mediate a new round of normalization talks between Ankara and Damascus.

Deputy Foreign Minister Nuh Yilmaz met on Aug. 3 with Russian President Vladimir Putin's Special Representative for Syria Alexander Lavrentiev in Ankara, according to the Turkish Foreign Ministry.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has announced the appointment of three new deputy foreign ministers, as revealed in an official decision published in the country's Official Gazette.

According to the publication dated May 17, Ayşe Berris Ekinci, Nuh Yılmaz and Burhanettin Duran have been selected to serve in these roles.
