Her foreign minister, Hakan Fidan, said in an interview that there were alliances in the eastern Mediterranean trying to encircle Turkey.
As he said, Turkey sees these efforts and is developing diplomatic means to address them, and if it cannot develop diplomatic means, he said, then the issue is referred to the security institutions.
Specifically, in an interview with the Turkish State TRT network, Hakan Fidan said:
“After taking over my duties (as Foreign Minister), I told my associates that there are areas that need to be promoted through diplomacy. That is, the issue of Palestine, the creation of a framework for regional security, the resolution of conflict, the finding of new markets, the finding of new sources of energy, and dozens of other issues. One of the most important of these is the visible and invisible areas from which Turkey is surrounded. Visible surroundings are alliances created at the expense of Turkey.
‘We are developing diplomatic measures’
There are areas of alliances that are trying to create in the Mediterranean and the Eastern Mediterranean. We see them and develop diplomatic measures for them. If you cannot develop diplomatic measures on specific issues, then you refer the issue to your army, security bodies, and more things happen. That is, you must take the diplomatic measures you can take in advance. “
Elsewhere in his interview, Hakan Fidan argued that there was a relationship between Turkish and United States presidents, Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Donald Trump ,. “Yesterday, as you know, Mr Trump asked to call our president and called him. Citing their friendship, he said confident that our president has already offered all possible help, but begged him to show his interest in this matter again. “
The head of Turkish diplomacy said that six to seven hours after the conversation, Hamas responded positively to Trump’s plan with a statement. “Now, if the two leaders see that their cooperation is really useful for both solving problems between the two countries and to promote the interests of the two countries, but also for solving regional problems, then this is a truly efficient relationship. I believe that this relationship can lead to much more beneficial results, “the Turkish Foreign Minister said.
