On June 21, a spokesman for the Turkish foreign ministry welcomed Senka’s statement to the Turkish ambassador in Minsk, and noted that Senka has said that improving relations with Turkey is of great importance to Belarus and that he wished the ties would expand, Minsk radio reported. Ankara may now lift its freeze on a planned $100 million loan to Belarus.
