Numan Kurtulmuş: Netanyahu is on an Uncertain Path!

In response to the question about his contacts within the scope of the APA General Assembly held in Baku and Turkey's relations with Asian countries, Kurtulmuş reminded that Turkey assumed the APA Term Presidency last term and that the presidency remained in Turkey for many years. Stating that, as the Turkish Grand National Assembly, they handed over the APA Term Presidency to the Presidency of the Azerbaijan National Assembly and the Speaker of the Assembly, Sahiba Gafarova, Kurtulmuş said, “Therefore, this ceremony was meaningful for us as well. Asia is a growing and developing region. We can say that it is a new basin of civilization that has been revived. It is a continent with many different cultures, economies with great potential for development, and great opportunities. "It seems that Asia will have a very privileged place in the world balances in the coming period." he said.

Pointing out that Turkey is a country at the easternmost point of Europe, at the westernmost point of Asia, at a geostrategic transition point, and at the same time at a transition point of cultures, Kurtulmuş said that while giving importance to European and Western relations and regional relations, it should also seriously prioritize Asian relations. , emphasized that it should be taken seriously.

Europe rönesansPointing out that great civilizations were established in Asia long before 1960, where science, technology, culture, art and aesthetics were at their peak, Kurtulmuş said that today, Asia has opened a great window of opportunity in terms of new world balances. Kurtulmuş made the following evaluations:

“As Turkey, we need to benefit from this and we need to be involved in efforts to make Asia a region of peace and stability in the new world balances. When balance disappears in the international system, conflicts and tensions begin. Unfortunately, the world system is not in balance at the moment. It is not possible for any power to be dominant and effective alone in the world. Region by region, different countries and different centers of power have an impact on the world economy and world politics. This inevitably creates more tension and more conflict. Therefore, I believe that it is important to carry out studies that prioritize trust and stability in Asia, and in this sense, for Turkey to prepare peaceful perspectives, both for Turkey's future, for increasing its alternatives in the region it is in, and for increasing mutual cooperation between Asian countries.”

“THEY ALSO FOLLOW KAAN”

Kurtulmuş said, “In your bilateral meetings, commercial relations between the countries also came to the agenda. How do Turkey's breakthroughs in the field of defense industry, such as the successful first flight of the national combat aircraft KAAN, resonate in these countries? In response to the question, he stated that after being elected as the Speaker of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, he had the opportunity to have bilateral meetings with nearly 50 parliamentary speakers. Kurtulmuş said:

“I can say that without exception, almost all of the parliamentary speakers of the countries we deal with, whether from the East or the West, follow Turkey's rise in recent years very seriously. They watch with interest as Turkey becomes a strong and large economy. Especially in this context, they carefully follow Turkey's achievements in the field of defense industry. In fact, some of the countries state that they are ready to cooperate with Turkey, especially in high technologies, especially in the defense industry. One of the reasons why the defense industry attracts attention is that, unfortunately, in the period the world is going through, trust and stability have become the first priority for every country. In this sense, Turkey's defense industry products, UAVs, UCAVs, smart ammunition, some of our marine vehicles; With all this, they are looking for opportunities to cooperate with Türkiye. This is an important gateway for Türkiye. They also follow KAAN. We heard from some parliamentary speakers about Turkey's national combat aircraft and Turkey's ability to produce aircraft engines and helicopter engines. “They are also watching with interest.”

Kurtulmuş said, “President Erdoğan, in his speech at the draw ceremony of judges and prosecutors, emphasized the new constitution while drawing attention to the problems in the judiciary, but said that if a consensus could not be reached on the new constitution, a consensus could be sought for constitutional amendment to solve the problems in the judiciary. "If no results are obtained from the post-election reconciliation talks, can changes to the current constitution be brought to the agenda instead of the new constitution?" "In the coming period, what we do will be more important than what we name it." said.
