Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said there is a global struggle for leadership in our region.
“We cannot watch events from the stands. We must be prepared for any scenario and direct regional developments in the interests of our country,” he said.
Erdogan noted that Turkey is now in a stronger, more determined, and advantageous position to realize the goal of “Turkey without terrorism” in all its manifestations.
“In these days, when the genocidal network declares its intention to divide our region, we must define our policy accordingly,” he said.
