1. “We need to develop effective strategies, strengthen our cooperation and build a safer future. Türkiye will continue to contribute to international efforts to that end.”

2. “Countering the financing of terrorism and anti-money laundering efforts should also be at the centre of the international community’s approach to effectively address the problem in all its aspects. We commend the work of the Financial Action Task Force in that respect. The increasing use of information and communications technologies (ICTs) for criminal purposes also deserves our attention. The malign use of ICTs further exacerbates the adverse impacts of threats on fundamental freedoms, which requires a concerted international response through strong cooperation between States and relevant stakeholders. As newer and more sophisticated methods, including the use of ICTs for criminal purposes, continue to emerge, countering organized crime and terrorism is becoming more complex.”

3. “For years, we have been at the forefront of countering terrorist organizations with a broad spectrum of ideologies, be it Da’esh, Al-Qaida, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), the Partiya Yekitiya Demokrat, the People’s Protection Units or the Fethullah Gülen terrorist organization. Those groups and others have been operating across national borders, running training camps, acquiring financial resources and operating media outlets to disseminate their propaganda and glorify their vicious acts abroad. The PKK terrorist organization fully illustrates the symbiotic nature of terrorism and transnational organized crime. That terrorist network engages in the trafficking and marketing of drugs across Europe. Drug trafficking remains one of its indispensable financial sources.”

4. “We are actively contributing to the work of regional and international organizations such as the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction and the International Narcotics Control Board. Drug trafficking fuels terrorism, which in turn perpetuates the drug trade. To break that vicious cycle, the international community must collaborate more closely than ever before, sharing intelligence, resources and best practices. Türkiye continues to be an ardent promoter of international cooperation in the fight against terrorism.”

5. “As the country hosting the largest refugee population, Türkiye attaches the utmost importance to protecting the rights and dignity of migrants, refugees and victims of trafficking. We believe in the need to deal with cross-cutting issues, including human trafficking, forced migration, labour, sustainable development and human rights, in a holistic manner. Illicit drug trafficking poses a serious risk to international security and stability, particularly through the growing global organized crime network. Türkiye, owing to its geographical location, has long been fighting against illicit drug and precursors trafficking. We are fully committed to the three international drug control conventions and see their full and universal implementation as crucial for the effectiveness of the system.”

6. “We thank the Secretary- General and all the briefers for their valuable presentations. Transnational organized crime and terrorism remain key challenges that continue to hinder the efforts to maintain international peace and security, achieve sustainable development and ensure the full enjoyment of human rights. The nexus between organized crime and terrorism, and their heavy engagement in drug trafficking, cannot and should not be disregarded. Human trafficking is among the most serious forms of organized crime. It is a clear violation of human rights and a serious offence to human dignity and integrity. That global problem bears immense costs for the social and economic fabric of our societies.”

7. “Although a resumption of the rounds of consultations between the Declaration Assessment Team and the Syrian regime was also discussed at the meeting, the OPCW Technical Secretariat has still not received a decision by the regime allowing it to proceed. Türkiye strongly condemns the use of chemical weapons anywhere, by anyone and under any circumstances. We call on the Syrian regime to fully cooperate with the Technical Secretariat and the investigative bodies of the OPCW in accordance with the Convention and resolution 2118 (2013), including by resuming the rounds of consultations with the Declaration Assessment Team and by responding to the inquiries of the OPCW. The meeting rose at 11.20 a.m.”

8. “We applaud the efforts of the Technical Secretariat and the investigative bodies of the OPCW to clarify all outstanding issues of the initial and subsequent declarations of the Syrian regime, yet we remain concerned that the OPCW still cannot consider the regime’s declaration accurate and complete owing to identified gaps, inconsistencies and discrepancies that remain unresolved. The OPCW Technical Secretariat is still waiting for a response regarding the unauthorized movement of two cylinders used in the chemical attack in Douma in 2018. We take note that a delegation from the OPCW Technical Secretariat met with a representative of the Syrian regime in Beirut on 22 and 23 June, during which they agreed on a six-month extension of the tripartite agreement.”

9. “We thank the Deputy to the High Representative of the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs, Mr. Ebo, and Mr. Katoub for their briefings. While all parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention must comply with their obligations, the 118th monthly report of the Director General of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) once again demonstrates that the Syrian regime has yet to fulfil its obligations under the Convention and address all outstanding issues in relation to its initial and subsequent declarations. We commend the independence, impartiality and professionalism upheld by the OPCW’s Technical Secretariat.”
