United Nations General Assembly and Turkey
The President of the Republic of Turkey will attend the UN meeting tomorrow and will speak at the UN general assembly.
The President of the Republic of Turkey will attend the UN meeting tomorrow and will speak at the UN general assembly. Everyone in Turkey is wondering what message the President will deliver.
Looking at the events from a geopolitical point of view, the geopolitical message and picture is very clear:
The World is Bigger than Five: Turkey is the Sixth.
A Fairer World is Possible: Turkey is a candidate for the new leadership of this fair world.
As a matter of fact, everyone is waiting for the message he will give at the UN general assembly. But the message has already been given. Moreover, not in the UN general assembly, but outside the UN building.
The Turkevi building was opened right across the UN building. A huge skyscraper with the Turkish flag hanging on it. Turkish Center with its English name. He says that the fact that the Turkish house is directly opposite the UN is actually a challenge to the current UN order and the world order, and literally I am against this order. So the world is bigger than five. No other country has such a facility in the vicinity of the UN building. This actually shows the geopolitical situation Turkey has come to. Turkey is a new power center in the new world order.
On the other hand, the meetings held before the UN general assembly also show the geopolitical situation of Turkey. The President is meeting with the UN Secretary General at the Turkish house, not at the UN building. In other words, he says to the UN that I am no longer a part of the order and game that you have established. I'm making my own order. In this new order, I am the host, not the guest. Again, the president is holding his meetings with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Ukrainian President Zelenskiy and at the Turkish house, not in the UN building or any other environment. In fact, the same message is given to them. Even if the place is in New York in America, I am the host, not the guest, in this order and geopolitics. In fact, if we consider how important implications and messages are in international relations, the geopolitical picture becomes clearer. The leaders who come to meet with the President also see this. I'm sure they feel obliged to come to the Turkish house because they are aware of Turkey's growing power and geopolitical importance. Otherwise, any leader could very well have requested that the meeting be held at the UN building or some other neutral venue. There is no building or hotel in huge New York for interview. This is an indication of Turkey's geopolitical importance, regardless of what anyone says.
The UN general assembly meeting will be held on September 21. In my opinion, there will be a Turkish show, both before and after the meeting. First of all, when all the leaders who come to the UN building for the UN meeting get out of their vehicles and raise their heads, they will see the Turkish house with a huge Turkish flag hanging over it. Whether it is a poor country or a rich country, I am sure that each of these leaders will have Turkey in mind when they step into the UN building, and they will think of Turkey's challenge with such a stance right in front of the UN building.
Many countries, especially fed up with the imperialist and humiliating order of the West, will enter this meeting with the perception that Turkey is a new rising power and a new center of attraction. After leaving the meeting, they will leave here with the same message and image. Many leaders will remember the image they saw walking in and out of the building rather than the standard translated speeches at the UN meeting. In my opinion, this is a very important and valuable geopolitical picture.
In addition to these images, the main article of the President's meeting at the UN General Assembly is very clear. The name of the book he wrote: A fairer world is possible. The message of any country president attending the meeting is not as impressive as this.
The USA was defeated and withdrawn in Afghanistan. What will the United States, which is unethical and does not value anyone but itself, say? How they were defeated, how they had screwed up their ally, France, in the Pacific in the past week? With these rhetoric, who will now believe in the USA and believe in democracy and human rights rhetoric?
What will Russia say? How bad is the USA?
What will China say? That the US is fed up with its expansionist policy and will take back Taiwan?
What will England say? That he once colonized the whole world with his colonial empire and wanted to do it again?
Will France tell him how he was persecuted like Napoleon defeated at the Battle of Waterloo?
All these thoughts are ideas that the nations of the world have heard for years. None are new. All countries are already very uncomfortable with the fact that these powerful countries have oppressed themselves with imperialist methods, and these rhetoric that sounds good but always oppress them. Therefore, they will not believe much in the rhetoric of these powerful countries.
However, Turkey's discourse is different. Turkey is talking about a fairer world. He talks about the injustice of the current order and the need to change it. This is a very important thesis and discourse. While others want this order to continue, Turkey talks about the need to change this order.
Moreover, it bases it on moral values and equality.
I am sure this approach will leave its mark on the meeting at the UN general assembly. Because Turkey promises an ideal. The world is overwhelmed by the darkness brought by imperialism and is looking for a light and a way out of it. Here, Turkey, with its rhetoric and philosophy, expresses that it is exactly the way they seek, or rather the pole star. The distribution of the president's book, which includes Turkey's discourse, to the participants in different languages actually turns these discourses into a document. For this reason, I think that Turkey will completely leave its mark on the UN meeting.
Expressing these ideas philosophically and intellectually, Turkey will become the center of attraction for the new world order. The majestic stance of the Turkish house, located right across the UN building, will once again remind all participants that Turkey is the new center of attraction for the new world geopolitics, not only philosophically but also as a concrete power.
Turkey is no longer a border country but a central country with its power and influence in the new world geopolitics. Now the world geopolitics has to be wider than the geography of Eurasia, where Europe and Asia are considered together and most of the power centers are concentrated. To this must be added Africa. All of these three continents are now EURASAF (Europe-Asia-Africa), that is, EURASKA (Europe-Asia-Africa). The central country of EURASKA is Turkey. Any solution without Turkey in these three continents cannot be a real solution.
The messages Turkey wanted to convey during the UN meetings have already been given: The new world order and geopolitics are bigger than Five. This order is neither the United States, Europe, nor Asia alone. This order is a multipolar new world order that unites the world and the continents, where imperialism is not accepted, ethical values and a fair approach. One of the main players of this order, both with its philosophy and power, is Turkey, the central country of AVRASKA.
