Turkey supports the Dayton Peace Agreement, that ended the 1992-1995 war in Bosnia, as a minimum compromise that currently exists for the country, despite some of its shortcomings and the fact that no one there is fully satisfied with it, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said.

“I have already stated that if interested parties want to advance this agreement, it should be done under the scrutiny of the United Nations,” Erdogan said, commenting on the strongest Bosniak party – the Democratic Action Party's programme declaration advocating Bosnia's restructuring.

Erdogan told Belgrade-based Politika daily that a similar declaration was adopted in 2015 as well and that the SDA leader Bakir Izetbegovic clarified that it was envisaged that the goals of the declaration would be achieved in accordance with the constitution and law, in agreement with all the stakeholders.

“It's clear that countries in the region and the international community should support the steps that the relevant parties in Bosnia must take,” Erdogan noted.
