Speaking at the 26th Ordinary General Assembly of MUSIAD, Erdoğan said: “With its diplomatic, military and economic power, Turkey now has a say in every issue in our region. The effects of this status can be seen everywhere from Syria to Libya, from the Mediterranean to the Caucasus.”

“We built the necessary infrastructure across Turkey”

Underscoring that the world was on the verge of a new era, Erdoğan said: “The global balances of political and economic power are crumbling, which is also the footsteps of the new global political and economic system of administration to be established. Inshallah, Turkey will not miss the boat this time and will take its rightful place in the front row.”

Noting that Turkey now focused on building its future upon the robust infrastructure of democracy and development, established in the past 19 years, Erdoğan said: “Turkey now has the proper ground to fulfill its goals in every area from education to healthcare, from security to justice, from transportation to energy, from industry to trade, from sports to social assistance. We have provided across our country with investments, works and services in all areas. We have built the necessary infrastructure across Turkey.”

“We will not allow even the smallest deviation from the path towards building a great and powerful Turkey. With its diplomatic, military and economic power, Turkey now has a say in every issue in our region. The effects of this status can be seen everywhere from Syria to Libya, from the Mediterranean to the Caucasus. Turkey has considerable status and weight in all major global platforms,” Erdoğan said.

“We are nearing our goals for 2023”

“Despite all the sabotages we have suffered, we are step by step nearing our goals for 2023, which we promised to our nation 10 years ago. We now have entered a period when we will shape our vision for 2053, which will be our greatest legacy to the youth,” Erdoğan said.

Underlining that Turkey could not contribute in the way it wanted to resolve the injustices and problems in the global order before achieving its development goals, President Erdoğan said: “We have a great responsibility. In Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, and Libya. We lent a hand to Libya and Azerbaijan, which ensured peace in the region. It has been the same in Syria and Iraq. Thanks be to Allah, we have the know-how, faith, resolve, programme, and preparation to fulfill this responsibility. That’s why we say ‘2023 is crucial.”
