Liberal democracy, once shown as the remedy for all problems, has now lost its former power and influence.

"THE WEST FAILED THE GAZA EXAM"

It is inadequate in drawing a route for society and giving people hope and confidence. Politics, like life, does not tolerate a vacuum. This is the situation in the West today.

"ONLY Türkiye CAN SAVE THE EU FROM THE DEADLOCK"

Turkey is the one that will give life to a rapidly aging Europe. It is Turkey's full membership. The sooner the EU faces this reality, the better it will be for them. We want to advance our membership process. Only Turkey can save the EU from a dead end. The countries that lead the Union need to abandon their mistakes. As Turkey, we will continue to fix one leg of the compass on Ankara with a 360-degree perspective and embrace the entire world with the other.
