Some sides in the EU present Turkey as a rival or a threat, says Cavusoglu
Some sides, especially within the European Union, present our country as a rival or even a threat at times, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said, noting that Turkey has contributed significantly to the stability and prosperity of the continent.
In a message on the occasion of the 9 May Europe Day, the Turkish Minister said that the tragedy in Ukraine is a warning sign for all of us. "This war, which will radically change the post-Cold War security architecture, is also a turning point for the future of Europe."
According to Mevlut Cavusoglu, "the European project is currently being tested by many threats."
"As a candidate country and NATO ally, Turkey is the key country for solving all these challenges facing Europe," he adds.
According to him, "although some parties, especially within the European Union, present our country as an adversary or even a threat at times, Turkey has contributed significantly to the stability and prosperity of the continent by making many sacrifices for the security of Europe both during and after the Cold War."
"Turkey continues to pursue a constructive policy to develop cooperation and dialogue in all areas in the context of the EU accession process, which is its strategic goal."
