ArmInfo.The current international system, is unfortunately unable to produce peace, stability, and justice for most. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan stated during his speech at the opening ceremony of the 14th annual Ambassadors' Conference in Ankara.
The current global system is experiencing a "more complex" period marked by multiple crises, said the Turkish foreign minister, pointing to the diverse challenges that the world currently faces.
In the international system, countries are simultaneously faced with many political, military, economic, environmental, technological, and social challenges, he added.
"We see that various challenges such as armed conflicts, terrorism, irregular migration, xenophobia and Islamophobia, climate change, and waste crisis trigger and feed each other," he stressed.
Fidan underlined that through all this, Ankara would remain an independent and influential actor on the world stage.
"We will work tirelessly to strengthen Turkiye's position as a fully independent, active, and influential actor that sets the international agenda, setting and breaking the game when necessary," he said.
About Turkiye's reconciliation and normalization processes in the Middle East and the South Caucasus, Fidan said: "On the basis of our basic foreign policy principles, we will seek to solve problems, increase the number of our friends and strengthen our existing friendships."
Coordinated progress in the "Turkiye-Armenia and Azerbaijan-Armenia processes" is essential for stability, peace, prosperity, and security in the South Caucasus, he added.
"The only way to lasting peace in the Middle East is a two-state solution based on international parameters. It is the establishment of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital. "We will stand against any step that harms this vision and any provocations targeting our first qibla, the al-Aqsa Mosque," he said., Anadolu reports.
