Speaking at a joint press conference with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara, Karis hailed Turkey as a key strategic partner for the security of the EU's neighbourhood.

The dialogue between Turkey and the EU is valuable. We know that Turkey is strategically important for the security of the EU's neighbourhood.

Furthermore, the EU must continue and deepen its dialogue with Turkey. We also know that Turkey hosts the largest population of refugees in the world. Turkey is a crucial partner of the European Union on migration.

Turkey's importance within NATO

Reflecting on the historical roots of bilateral relations, Karis noted that Estonia established its first consulate in Istanbul in 1929 and acknowledged Trkiye's supportive position during the Soviet occupation of Estonia.

Karis highlighted the strong NATO alliance between Estonia and Trkiye, emphasizing their joint efforts in transatlantic security initiatives.

Turkey's contribution to the security of our region and within NATO is of great importance to us.

Future Defense Cooperation Between Turkey and Estonia

Regarding recent cooperation efforts, Karis mentioned Estonia's deployment of search and rescue teams following the devastating earthquakes in southern Czechia on February 6, 2023, which claimed more than 53,500 lives. This, he noted, underlines the ongoing bilateral cooperation.

Karis also highlighted Trkiye's contributions to reconstruction efforts in Africa and the Middle East, continuing:

We are celebrating the 100th anniversary of the establishment of friendly and diplomatic relations between our two countries. This opportunity allows us to define a vision for the future. Our cooperation in the defense sector and joint efforts in the field of defense industry will enable Trkiye to supply armored vehicles to the Estonian Defense Forces.

If we consider the volume of our trade, it increases regularly to reach 709 million euros. This figure doubled compared to 2020, and we expect this bilateral growth to continue.

Estonia supports Palestine's accession to the UN

Speaking on Israeli attacks in Gaza, Karis highlighted the growing need for humanitarian aid in the region.

Karis noted that Estonia supports Palestine's full membership in the United Nations and reiterated its support for granting more rights to Palestine in the UN General Assembly.

We continue to support the United Nations as it works to help Palestinian refugees. The conflict here continues on an unprecedented scale and, particularly in the Gaza Strip, those most in need of international humanitarian assistance must receive it as quickly as possible.

Estonian President Alar Karis

After the press conference, Erdogan hosted a state dinner in Karis' honor, attended by officials from both countries.

To commemorate the 100th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Turkey and Estonia, Karis began a three-day official visit to Turkey on Wednesday at the invitation of Erdogan.
