09/04/2025 | 16:53:45 Dear colleagues, Türkiye is not an oil rich Arab or Gulf country. Türkiye's richness comes from its founding principles and the dedication to secular democracy, rule of law, human rights and freedom of speech. Türkiye has been a breach between East and West for centuries, as its geography dictates. Both Europe and the Turkish people need a democratic Türkiye. History has proved on many occasions that as Türkiye gets more democratic and as the rule of law prevails, its economy grows and the... 28/01/2025 | 18:43:21 President, These days we are commemorating the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

I would like to start by condemning the attack by Hamas towards Israeli civilians. Nothing can justify that kind of terrorism. At the same time, the Israeli response towards civilians is not acceptable either. The attacks towards Palestinians have been resulting in shocking numbers of civilian causalities every day. The killing of individuals is not acceptable. Each day, hundreds of lives are getting lost and the... 26/04/2023 | 17:44:53 Distinguished Chair and distinguished colleagues, Before I start, I would like to convey my deepest condolences to all those who have lost their loved ones in the devastating earthquakes that took place in Türkiye on 6 February 2023.
