Intelligence chief says Türkiye key actor in crisis diplomacy

Türkiye has become an actor whose views are sought in conflict resolution and crisis management, National Intelligence Organization (MİT) chief İbrahim Kalın has said.

Kalın made the remarks during a conference for trainee officers at the National Defense University’s War Institutes on May 22.

Referring to regional developments, including the war involving the United States, Israel and Iran and the Gaza peace process, Kalın said Türkiye was no longer a country “watching the flow of history from the shore.”

“There is now a Türkiye that gives direction to that flow,” he said.
