other for long years.
"Turkish foreign ministry brought together Foreign Minister Ali Ahmed Jama

scope of UN Conference on Somalia held in Istanbul," Ozugergin said.
"From the very beginning, it is the goal of Turkey to listen to the problems
from the parties themselves and assume a stance accordingly," he said.
Referring to problems between Somalia and Eritrea that continued for long

He said the tripartite meeting targeted strengthening of Somalia and noted
that positive contributions of its neighbors to the process was of critical
