Some people who think in a narrow scope and who do lack a strategic perspective consider Turkey's membership a burden
The Baath regime continues to use oppression and violence on its own people. Violence breeds violence
It is important to put oneself in their shoes and see how they perceive threats
Violence breeds violence. Now, unfortunately, Syria has come to a point of no return
We exerted enormous efforts in public and behind closed doors in order to convince the Syrian leadership to lead the democratic transition
We need to stimulate growth and create new jobs. It is all the more important today to further strengthen Turkish-UK business links in order to overcome economic difficulties
We don't believe the right way to create change is through external intervention. The people must make that change. Civil war is not something that anyone would want to see happen. Everything must be done to prevent it. It is very dangerous.
I will underline the importance of England’s continued support in making sure negotiations are not blocked by artificial political obstacles

You can't see them as one single authority. For the sake of peace it is very important that the dialogue between Iran and the west progresses...

I would invite you to explore vibrant business opportunities in Turkey to the mutual interests of our nations
Therefore, it is of utmost importance to render the Group of 20 platform more effective as it is the best mechanism available to overcome such a dismal outcome in the global economy
What I see now, the world economy is in a state of a 'balance of economic terror' that may all of a sudden plunge into a full-fledged global depression
Unfortunately, a moral hazard has happened in the euro zone crisis since none of the reckless actors in this crisis is allowed to default
I strongly believe that there is no place any more for authoritarian regimes - single party systems that do not have accountability or transparency - on the shores of the Mediterranean
