Greece and Turkey through unprecedented diplomatic co-operation managed to take over the OSCE leadership.
After months of closed-door negotiations on 57 member states of the organisation, it seems unanimously they will elect Turkish Ferudun Sinirlioglu, a career diplomat and close associate of President Turk Erdogan, at the helm of the organisation.
While Greek diplomat Maria Telalian will head O DIRIN.
Turkish online newspaper Yetkin Report through an article sheds light on all the background why Ferudun Sinirlioglu's package triumphed in the face of Albania and the Netherlands on candidacy of Albanian Foreign Affairs Minister Igli Hasani.
Diplomatic sources have explained to this Turkish media that the key to success was uniting forces between Greece and Turkey, including a diplomatic compromise, paving the way for Sinirlioğlu in direction of O The SEU after being approved by the foreign ministers of OSCE member states.
This diplomatic compromise is explained by the fact that Greece and Turkey over the past two decades have had extreme conflict relations.
And exactly going out with a joint proposal from these two countries for the O head. The SEU is viewed as a good opportunity to influence positively on the advanced reconciliation climate between two countries.
That was the key element of agreement to give Ferudun Sinirlioglu victory, the element that confirms that the process of consensus election of O leadership The SB is based on geopolitical considerations more than individual candidate merits.
Top Channel learns that this symbolic Turkish-Greek package and the broader collective goal of contributing to a stable normalisation of Turkish-Greek relations was and the reason behind the Albanian government's decision to withdraw Igli Hasani from running for the position of secretary-general.
Although he was nominated earlier as the most voted individual candidate and considered the most favoured candidate by the overwhelming majority of participating countries until the end of the process. (TCH)
