The Turkish president asserts that it is past time for international decision-making processes to adjust to the world’s shifting reality.
According to Turkish President Erdogan, Muslims, who make up 25% of the world’s population, should have their rightful place in international decision-making processes.
“It is not a need, but a necessity for an Islamic nation to have a veto power in the UN Security Council,” Erdogan stated.
“The time has long come for global decision-making mechanisms to adapt to the changing realities of the world,” he said, adding that his fight, which is led by the idea that “the world is bigger than five,” aims to create a more inclusive structure to replace the global system that perpetuates problems.
Erdogan added, “Israel will not achieve the peace it seeks unless an independent Palestinian state with territorial integrity based on the 1967 borders is established.”
He reiterated that the historic Jerusalem mosque is a “red line” for Turkey, saying, “As if their calls for annexation of the West Bank were not enough, Israeli government ministers are playing with fire with provocations targeting Al Aqsa Mosque.”
The security of Europe would be unthinkable without Turkey.
It is impossible to imagine Europe’s security without Turkey, according to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
In a speech to foreign ambassadors in the capital Ankara on Monday, Erdogan stated that Turkey views its EU membership process as a “strategic priority,” since it is a “inseparable part of Europe.”
He stated at an iftar meal, which marks the conclusion of the daytime fast for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, that “Europe cannot continue as a global actor without Türkiye taking its rightful place.”
