“Only Turkey can save it from the impasse it has come to,” said the Turkish Council meeting in Ankara after a meeting of the Turkish Council of Ankara.
The Turkish president described a gloomy picture of Europe, with the rise of the far -right forces in the elections, specifically: “Unfortunately, the last elections have shown that our concerns were justified. One of the reasons for this is the inability of Europe’s central political forces to read the spirit of the time properly. Liberal democracy, attractive in the last century, has entered a serious crisis and deadlock. Liberal democracy has lost its previous power, prestige and influence. “
Tayyip Erdogan pointed out that “like life, so does politics, does not accept the void” and “as it appeared in the recent elections, the gap in European democracies is covered by far -right demagogues”. In this situation, in which he argued that the West had come, the Turkish president also added the “ambiguous”, as he said, “West’s attitude towards the 471 -day genocide in Gaza”, accusing Western organizations and leaders “who attended The massacre of more than 61,000 civilians, mainly children and women, “they failed to” humanity exams “in Gaza.
“Western values are far from the target of the common good for humanity”
“These developments have become clear that western values, which have been example for the rest of the world for years, are far from the target of the common good for humanity,” the Turkish president added.
According to Recep Tayyip Erdogan, “the loss of reputation and trust in a short period of time cannot be recovered.”
“In front of this image,” he continued, what matters to us is to protect our interests. Similarly, we attach great importance to the peace and prosperity of our citizens who live in Europe for four and five generations. We carefully monitor developments to ensure that the presence of the far -right will not be a threat to European Turks and Muslims. “
Subsequently, Recep Tayyip Erdogan argued that “developments in Syria as well as discussions in the context of the Ukraine war confirm Europe’s need for Turkey” and summed up in conclusion: “Only Turkey can save the European Union from the impasse it has come from, from the economy to defense, from politics to international reputation. Turkey’s complete accession to the Union can save it.
It is Turkey, whose complete integration will give life to Europe, whose economy and demographic structure are rapidly declining. The sooner the European Union faces these realities, the better for it. We, as always, wish to promote our integration process on the basis of mutual benefit and respect with constructive understanding. “.
“Ukraine must definitely be included in the negotiations”
Ukraine must “definitely” be included in the negotiations to end war with Russia, Recep Tayyip Erdogan said.
«We see a new equation being established. In order to get results with this new process, Ukraine must be included and this war should be stopped through negotiations that will be carried out by common agreement“, The Turkish president said.
Last week, US President Donald Trump had downgraded the importance of a Ukrainian participation in the negotiations.
«We welcome Mr Trump’s will to stop the war through negotiation but the road to a fair and lasting peace can only open with an equation in which all the sides concerned will be represented.“Recep Tayyip Erdogan stressed. At the same time, on Monday, February 24, he accepted the Russian Foreign Minister in Ankara.
Erdogan had already stated, in a videotaped message broadcast in Kiev before the International Summit, with the completion of three years of war, that Kiev and Moscow should be represented “equal and fair”.
