Türkiye transitions into game setter in the region: Erdoğan

Türkiye is no longer a passive actor in powerful countries’ scenarios but has transitioned into a game setter in its wider region, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has said, vowing they will further strengthen the country’s security by cementing the internal front through the terror-free Türkiye project.

Erdoğan delivered a statement on the opening of the National Security Conferences launched by the National Security Council (MGK) on June 9 in the Turkish capital.

“Türkiye has demonstrated to its foes and friends that it is no longer a country assigned a certain role in others’ scenarios but has transitioned into a game-setter in its region which is able to write its own story and future,” Erdoğan said.

The ongoing terror-free Türkiye project that aims to dissolve and disarm the PKK plays an important role in enforcing Türkiye’s security, Erdoğan said, vowing to accomplish the process.
