Erdogan calls on states to maintain stability in region
(MENAFN) Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday encouraged Turkic nations to take a more proactive stance in ensuring regional stability and security.
“We believe the Turkic world can take a more active role in the stability and security of our region in many ways,” Erdogan stated during the 12th Summit of the Organization of Turkic States (OTS) held in Gabala, a northern city in Azerbaijan.
Criticizing the current international framework, he added, “We are facing an international system in which the UN Security Council remains indifferent to many issues that wound the conscience of humanity.”
Turning to Syria, Erdogan emphasized cautious optimism: “Despite many challenges, the Syrian government’s progress over the past nine months gives us reason to look to the future with hope.” He stressed the importance of closer involvement, saying, “As Turkic states, we must advance our engagement with the Syrian government.”
On the situation in the South Caucasus, he remarked, “We do not just follow developments; we sincerely support the steps taken in the region to establish peace and stability.”
Erdogan also condemned Israel’s recent actions in Qatar, describing them as a sign that “the greatest threat to our region’s stability comes from the current leadership of this country.”
Highlighting cultural cooperation among Turkic nations, he noted, “Regarding the common alphabet, Türkiye is taking the first step, publishing a work on (world-renowned Kyrgyz author) Chinghiz Aitmatov and the Oghuznameh (legendary accounts of Oghuz Turks) in the common alphabet.”
