Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Monday that Turkey is working to counter efforts to reshape the region through ongoing conflicts, while continuing to strengthen its defense industry.
Speaking after a Cabinet meeting in the capital Ankara, President Erdogan said efforts were being made to shape regional developments through “bloodshed and tears” in Gaza, Lebanon, Sudan and Yemen, adding that Turkey was working to foil such “games” while also seeking to strengthen the gains the country has made over the past 23 years.
He said Turkey was also “making history” in the defense industry and remained focused on its long-term goals amid what he described as a period of major regional and global change.
“There is a Turkey that presents itself as an island of stability amid regional tensions,” Erdogan said, adding that “as a government and an alliance, we are aware that we have assumed a historic responsibility in a time of historic transformations. We have no time to engage in quarrels or polemics.”
Referring to the 573rd anniversary of the conquest of Istanbul by Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II, known as Fatih Sultan Mehmet, Erdogan said the nation marked the historic event with pride, celebrating its spirit with thousands of citizens gathered last week.
He also declared that Istanbul would remain Turkish and Muslim despite what he described as opposition from “remnants of Byzantium”.
Erdogan said the Hagia Sophia, with the call to prayer rising from its minarets, has long been a symbol of conquest, noting that it has remained in a state of sorrow for many years.
He further said that after 86 years, Turkey has “broken the chains” placed on Hagia Sophia and restored it to its place in civilization, where it once again stands as a symbol of conquest, with recitations of the Quran echoing through its dome and the call to prayer rising from its minarets.
Underscoring national unity, Erdogan said Turkey would continue to stay united, grow stronger and move forward as one nation.
