Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that the UN Security Council "is no longer a guarantee of global security and has become a collision arena for the political strategies of the five permanent members."
He added, in a speech he delivered during his participation in the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, that "we must build a structure for a global administration capable of representing all races, beliefs and cultures in the world."
The Turkish President continued: “With regard to the future of the world, and compared to our speech here last year, unfortunately, we cannot paint a more optimistic picture.”
He pointed out that the world is facing more complex and dangerous challenges, saying: “The south, east, north, and west of our country, there are many clashes, wars, humanitarian crises, political tensions, and social tensions, and with the global economic problems, confronting these challenges will become more difficult with the passage of time.”
He explained, “Our call to establish an international order for the benefit of all humanity, through our call that (the world is bigger than five) is receiving increasing resonance. We agree with the recent statement made by the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Guterres, that the institutions established after World War II do not reflectq "Today's world."
Erdogan continued: “As a country that has been a pioneer in many initiatives aimed at promoting peace and stability, we pay attention to Mr. Guterres’ call to develop a new plan for peace.”
He added: “Our vision (of Turkey’s centenary), which we began to realize on the centenary of the founding of our republic, is the most clear expression of this congruence. We believe in the possibility of an international system that eliminates global injustice, addresses economic inequality, and achieves peace, security, stability, prosperity, that is effective, comprehensive, and embraces humanity, that is, the possibility A more just world."
Regarding the environment, the Turkish President said: “I call on, from this platform, all countries, international institutions and civil society organizations to support the (zero waste) movement.” He added: "We cannot pass on to our children a world full of pollution and depleted natural resources as a result of unconscious consumption."
He explained that natural disasters related to climate change "have become part of the daily life of people living in any part of the world."
Regarding relations with the European Union, he stressed the need to put them “on sound ground at this particular time in light of the increasingly complex regional and international challenges.”
He said: "What we expect from the European Union is to assume its responsibilities towards Turkey and end the contradictory positions towards us."
Regarding the African continent, the Turkish President pointed out that the sixtieth anniversary this year of the founding of the African Union “bears symbolism for the continent taking control of its affairs and its progress.” He said that the process that began with the desire for “African solutions to Africa’s problems” has become one of “the most important development projects in the world.”
He added: “With the aim of accompanying Africa on this path, we crowned our relations with the continent with a strategic partnership. We welcome the African Union’s membership in the G20, and we have provided it with strong support.”
Erdogan went on to point out the political, economic, social and security challenges facing the Sahel region, and expressed his hope that Niger, which recently witnessed a military coup, will soon witness a shift towards a constitutional system and democratic rule.
He warned of the danger of military intervention in Niger, which would exacerbate instability in the entire region.
