Istanbul is the perfect backdrop for these important discussions. Hoping this meeting brings tangible solutions to long-standing issues.

It’s great to see both nations engaging in dialogue despite their differences. Diplomacy is the only way forward for global stability. Let’s hope these talks yield positive results! 🌍🤝
It’s interesting how diplomatic talks often focus on symbolic gestures like returning seized property and resuming flights while the underlying tensions remain unaddressed. The real question is whether these discussions will lead to any tangible changes or just serve as a temporary pause in a much larger conflict. It feels like history keeps repeating itself with diplomats moving pieces on the board but the core issues stay untouched.
Honestly, it’s about time both sides stopped playing diplomatic chess and started acting like adults 🕊️✈️. The mention of seized property and flights sounds like a long overdue reminder that normal relations benefit everyone, not just politicians. Fingers crossed this isn’t just another photo op and actually leads to real progress! 🤞🔥
