He expressed that perhaps the most significant development of this meeting was
that the Ombudsmen of the countries that are the parties to the ongoing Rus-
sian-Ukrainian War coming together in the same photo frame due to this Conference
and that bringing up the issue of establishing a Humanity Corridor which would let
people who lost their families, fell away from their homes, and were victimized on
both sides during the war reach their homeland. He stated that a more important
development was that the President of the Republic of Türkiye H.E. Mr. Recep Tayyip
Erdoğan welcomed the meetings held between the Ombudsmen on the occasion of
this Conference and came to the conclusion that the issue would be discussed with
the Presidents of both countries.
