Recently, in an interview with “Kanal Avrupa” TV channel, Derya Soysal, a member of the Belgian Institute Diplomatic World, correspondent for Bruxelles Korner, and an independent environmental expert specializing in Central Asian history, highlighted Turkmenistan’s unique position and diplomatic influence. Ms. Soysal emphasized that Turkmenistan, as a state, is the only neutral country among the Turkic-speaking countries and that this country’s neutrality status plays a significant role in maintaining regional stability in Central Asia.
Uniqueness of Neutrality Status
Ms. Soysal described Turkmenistan’s permanent neutrality status as a rare diplomatic achievement. “The number of neutral countries in the world is already quite limited,” she noted. This situation illustrates that Turkmenistan is recognized on the international stage for its trademark of peace and stability.
Constructive Roles in the Region
The expert highlighted Turkmenistan’s constructive role in resolving several regional issues. Projects related to the Caspian Sea and issues in Afghanistan also demonstrate how effectively Turkmenistan has acted in international diplomacy.
Turkmenistan’s Role as a Neutral Participant in the Region
According to the Belgian expert, Turkmenistan’s growing role as a neutral participant in regional affairs highlights the increasing importance of the country’s diplomatic relations in Central Asia. This situation shows that Turkmenistan’s influence in international diplomacy and its efforts for regional peace are on the rise.
Turkmenistan, with its permanent neutrality status and regional peace initiatives, is a reliable supporter of stability and peace in Central Asia.
