Türkiye a key player in all regional equations, says President Erdogan

ANKARA

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday said that no political or security equation, from Syria to Gaza and from the Gulf to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, can be formed without Türkiye’s involvement.

Speaking at the closing session of the “Century of Türkiye Meetings” at the Istanbul Congress Center in Istanbul province, Erdogan said Türkiye has become “a respected voice both in its region and globally, a country that exports peace and stability.”

He emphasized that Ankara’s vision is centered on securing a future where “no generation is wasted, mothers do not weep, and peace, security, and prosperity prevail across our entire geography.”

Erdogan added that their long-term goal is to ensure the nation’s unity and safety while contributing to a more peaceful region.

“With common will, we will first build a terror-free Türkiye, then a terror-free region as our lasting legacy to the nation’s children,” he said.

He also reiterated that the country will continue to pursue policies based on stability, cooperation, and peace in its neighborhood and beyond.
