00:00:01of his speech at the United Nations podium.
00:00:04Let's mention that in previous years, he delivered many
00:00:07important messages, and signed historical speeches, President
00:00:11Erdoğan. In fact, he addressed issues that the whole world
00:00:14was ignoring, and conveyed his messages
00:00:18regarding international problems from the United Nations
00:00:22podium. In this context, President Erdoğan will once
00:00:25again deliver his important messages from the United Nations
00:00:29podium.
00:00:35Here, as every year, Turkish
00:00:38citizens are enthusiastically waiting for President Recep Tayyip
00:00:41Erdoğan. Let's also mention that they are holding
00:00:45banners expressing their love for President Erdoğan.
00:00:49Additionally, Turkish flags are also in the hands of the Turkish
00:00:52citizens here. It's not just Turkish
00:00:55citizens, especially outside of Turkish citizens living
00:00:58in the USA.
00:01:06Let's also mention that there are people from distant geographies and neighboring countries who came here to see President Erdoğan. We should also note
00:01:09that citizens from different countries are also here
00:01:13to see President Erdoğan. Let me continue
00:01:16with President Erdoğan's schedule.
00:01:18On September 22nd, he will address the United Nations General Assembly.
00:01:22Additionally, President Erdoğan will also conduct
00:01:25intense leader diplomacy here. Let me remind
00:01:28you of this footnote: so far this year,
00:01:31President Erdoğan has met with 68 different
00:01:35Heads of State and Government. This year, he has once again
00:01:38engaged in a dizzying pace of diplomacy,
00:01:41just like every year. This year, President Erdoğan
00:01:44will continue this intense leader diplomacy
00:01:48within the framework of his visit to the United States,
00:01:52on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.
00:01:55Especially Turkey has become
00:01:58a center where the heart of diplomacy beats. It was opened
00:02:02in 2021 and put into service by President
00:02:06Erdoğan. Since the day it opened, it has become
00:02:10a center where the heart of diplomacy beats. President Erdoğan is holding
00:02:13his bilateral meetings with leaders within
00:02:17the scope of his visit to the United States. This
00:02:21year, Turkey and President will host bilateral
00:02:25meetings with leaders, heads of state and government.
00:02:28Also. let's mention that bilateral
00:02:32meetings will again take place
00:02:35at the United Nations Building. Of course, his schedule
00:02:39will not be limited to this. President
00:02:42Erdoğan will have very intensive contacts with the United States.
00:02:46He will meet with representatives of US think tanks, as
00:02:50he does every year. In addition, he will meet with the Turkish
00:02:54community as part of his US visit, as he does
00:02:57every year. President Erdoğan is expected to be at
00:03:00Turkevi within minutes.
00:03:03As I said earlier, President Erdoğan will not have
00:03:06a program for today. After entering Turkevi, he will
00:03:10rest. However, starting tomorrow, President
00:03:13Erdoğan will begin his US contacts very intensively.
00:03:17Erdoğan.
00:03:24Ahmet conveyed to us what will be on President
00:03:26Erdoğan's agenda for the next 3 days,
00:03:30and also shared information about what is happening
00:03:33in front of Turkevi as of now.
00:03:36Now, as we transmit these images to you,
00:03:40we have divided our screen into three different views.
00:03:43We are trying to convey what is happening
00:03:46from three different angles. It's worth saying that
00:03:50this is the first time in a long time that there are such
00:03:53intense security measures. Before, of course,
00:03:56security measures with barriers were also taken.
00:04:00This time, one of the things that caught our attention
00:04:04was the creation of two different corridors with barriers,
00:04:08which is quite important. It's clear that after President Erdoğan arrives
00:04:11with his convoy, he will greet the Turks waiting
00:04:15for him, and also make his entrance to Turkevi
00:04:18by moving through those barriers. This
00:04:22will prevent a stampede from occurring.
00:04:25Previously, the New York Police Department
00:04:29took precautions, of course. We had even witnessed
00:04:32at times that the front of Turkevi was immediately
00:04:35blocked with trucks. However,
00:04:39this time we can see that different security
00:04:42measures have been taken, and we are careful to
00:04:46bring these to your screens from different angles. The summit that President
00:04:49Erdoğan will attend is quite important from
00:04:53one perspective, because we know that President
00:04:57Erdoğan emphasizes reform every time. "The world is greater
00:05:01than five," said the President, repeatedly emphasizing
00:05:05that the United Nations needs to renew itself.
00:05:07Here, after a long
00:05:11break, the United Nations is actually meeting
00:05:14with this thought, with this idea, and including
00:05:18it in its agenda. It is worth mentioning this. Representation,
00:05:21veto, legitimacy, trust, and reform. We expect
00:05:24President Erdoğan to draw attention
00:05:27to this in his speech on Tuesday
00:05:30at 11:20 AM American time.
00:05:34What else will he say? He shared
00:05:37with us, let's elaborate a bit more,
00:05:41if you wish.
00:05:44Every year, President Erdoğan actually
00:05:47drew attention to the drama in Gaza.
00:05:50He even concretized this with photographs
00:05:54in previous years. However, the issue
00:05:58is no longer what is happening in Gaza,
00:06:01and not for Turkey either. President Erdoğan
00:06:05is expected to ask from the podium
00:06:08why the international system cannot stop
00:06:11this, especially regarding Israel
00:06:15and Netanyahu. We also expect him to give
00:06:19more weight to this issue in his speech.
00:06:22The issue of artificial intelligence is very important,
00:06:25not only for Turkey. It is one of the topics
00:06:29that we expect President Erdoğan to draw attention
00:06:32to in his speech, but the United Nations
00:06:36has also allocated a special heading
00:06:40to the issue of artificial intelligence
00:06:42in its meeting this year. It was on the agenda in 2025,
00:06:46but it was handled more within the framework
00:06:49of children, family, human, ethics. Now
00:06:52that 2026 is at stake,
00:06:55this time it will be handled as a matter of global
00:06:59governance. Leaders are expected to give messages
00:07:03along the lines of "humans should not surrender to artificial intelligence,"
00:07:06and "how humans should manage artificial
00:07:10intelligence." And of course, Turkey's role. President
00:07:14Erdoğan's messages from the podium here
00:07:18will be very valuable. Why do we say
00:07:20Turkey's role? When Turkey is mentioned, there is
00:07:24a reality that the world is now aware of,
00:07:28the fact that it is a solution-producing country,
00:07:31the claim that it is a solution-producing country. You know that
00:07:35this started with the 2022 grain corridor. The continuation
00:07:38also came, of course. The solution between Somalia and Somaliland
00:07:42was also reached thanks to Turkey.
00:07:45We know that wherever a problem occurs, Turkey
00:07:49is in a position to bring a solution to the table.
00:07:52In the meetings held in Islamabad, Turkey
00:07:56carried out very important work in the background. There are ongoing
00:08:00wars. The Iran war, the US war,
00:08:04is one of them. Currently, there is tension
00:08:07with the Houthis, the Red Sea, Bab-el-Mandeb.
00:08:11Turkey is one of the countries at the table trying
00:08:14to solve this tension. Therefore, Turkey's
00:08:17narrative will be that the system
00:08:20is not bad, there are elements that can solve
00:08:24the system, and Turkey is ready to do
00:08:26its best with all its elements on the ground. President
00:08:30Erdoğan's messages for world peace
00:08:33will also be very valuable here.
00:08:37If the system is not working, it is necessary
00:08:40to produce results through diplomacy and
00:08:44mediation. President Erdoğan is also expected
00:08:47to emphasize these points.
00:08:51Now, if we look at our screen again, what
00:08:54do we see? We can see many
00:08:58Turkish citizens there to see President
00:09:01Erdoğan. At the same time, there is
00:09:05also ongoing rain. Sometimes it intensifies, sometimes
00:09:08its intensity decreases, but despite this, they do
00:09:12not leave. A little girl is currently waving
00:09:16at TRT News cameras. Of course, her loving
00:09:18wave reaches Turkey, and we have brought
00:09:21it to your screens live. They have
00:09:25Turkish flags in their hands, they have flowers
00:09:28in their hands, and they will definitely
00:09:31give them to President Erdoğan. Sometimes, these
00:09:34kinds of images are very important.
00:09:37Actually, every year when the President goes there,
00:09:40citizens are ready to welcome him, and President
00:09:44Erdoğan does not leave this love unrequited.
00:09:47The convoy stops especially after approaching
00:09:50Turkevi, and he gets out. After
00:09:54going to them, especially if there are small
00:09:57children or babies, he definitely has
00:10:00a quick chat with them, picks them up, and shows
00:10:04affection. If the citizens have a request or
00:10:07a wish, he definitely listens to them.
00:10:11Now, there is an element that caught our attention
00:10:14in this frame. I want to convey that immediately.
00:10:17Dear viewers, you see COP31 in the background.
00:10:21Let's also convey that, if you wish. The COP31
00:10:25poster is important, why is it important?
00:10:28Because COP31 will take place in Turkey this year,
00:10:32are continuing at full
00:10:35speed, and at the same
00:10:39is also prioritizing climate within the scope
00:10:42of this year's General Assembly summit. President
00:10:46Erdoğan is also expected to deliver a speech
00:10:50within the UN. It is part of his program.
00:10:53We can also see a poster related to COP31
00:10:56at the entrance of Turkevi. The image
00:11:00we have brought to the screen is one of them. So, the main
00:11:04question of the summit in Antalya will be this: The world
00:11:07made enough promises on climate. But how much
00:11:11of these promises has it implemented and kept? COP31
00:11:14is very important for this reason. On the one
00:11:18hand, President Erdoğan will also invite all the leaders
00:11:21he met within the scope of the UN General Assembly
00:11:27to Turkey, to Antalya. Let's all deal with
00:11:32the climate issue together. Now, if you wish, let's
00:11:35go to New York again. I'm telling you what I see
00:11:38from Ankara, but listening to what's happening there
00:11:42is completely different, of course. Our friend Ahmet Yılmaz
00:11:44is waiting for us, ready.
00:11:50Ahmet, the floor is yours again. Our waiting in front of Turkevi
00:11:53continues. We expect President Erdoğan to be
00:11:57at Turkevi soon, just like
00:12:00the Turkish citizens here. Let's mention
00:12:04that a large group of Turkish citizens is also
00:12:08waiting to welcome President Erdoğan. As
00:12:12every year, Turkish citizens will welcome President
00:12:15Erdoğan with demonstrations of affection. As I mentioned in my previous
00:12:19connection, from what we observed
00:12:21here, it's not just Turkish citizens.
00:12:25People from different districts are also
00:12:28in front of Turkevi to welcome President Erdoğan
00:12:32and show their affection. President Erdoğan, of course,
00:12:35will not leave this interest and love
00:12:39unrequited. After getting out of his car,
00:12:43he will go to them to greet and chat
00:12:46with them, as he does every year. After
00:12:49that, President Erdoğan will go to Turkevi
00:12:53to stay for today. There are intense security
00:12:57measures in front of Turkevi. Compared to previous
00:13:00years, we can say that security measures
00:13:03have been tightened this year. President
00:13:06Erdoğan will continue his programs
00:13:09from Turkevi for 4 days
00:13:13intensively within the scope
00:13:16of the United Nations Summit. Turkevi will host
00:13:20both bilateral meetings. And let's also mention
00:13:23that the United Nations General Assembly building,
00:13:27this building, is right across from Turkevi.
00:13:30While the heart of diplomacy beats in the United
00:13:33Nations Building, let's also mention that the heart
00:13:37of diplomacy will beat in Turkevi this year as well.
00:13:41Since its opening in 2021, Turkevi has been hosting
00:13:44bilateral meetings of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan
00:13:48with leaders. As in the last 5 years,
00:13:52the President will continue his intense leader
00:13:55diplomacy in Turkevi this year as well. We should
00:13:59mention that both a large group of press members
00:14:02and Turkish citizens, as well as citizens
00:14:05from different countries, are here to welcome
00:14:08President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. There are only
00:14:12minutes left until President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's
00:14:15arrival at Turkevi, which is right across
00:14:19from the United Nations General Assembly building.
00:14:21Let me reiterate that the President
00:14:25has no program for today. After entering
00:14:28Turkevi, which will take some time, as there
00:14:32is a large delegation waiting to welcome him
00:14:35in front of Turkevi, President Erdoğan will rest.
00:14:38However, starting tomorrow,
00:14:41he has a very busy schedule.
00:14:45President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will first
00:14:49begin his bilateral meetings with leaders.
00:14:52He will also meet with the Turkish community
00:14:55tomorrow evening. We expect him to give
00:14:59a speech there. Of course, speaking of speeches,
00:15:02let's mention that the main speech,
00:15:04the point where all eyes will turn,
00:15:08will be the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday.
00:15:11President Erdoğan will address the world for the 16th
00:15:15time. We expect President Erdoğan to be
00:15:18at the United Nations podium around
00:15:216:30 PM Turkish time on Tuesday. Prior
00:15:37to that, traditionally. We expect him to speak
00:15:404th at the General Assembly. So, President Erdoğan
00:15:44will be on the podium at 6:30 PM Turkish time.
00:15:48As always, as every year, eyes will once again
00:15:51turn to President Erdoğan's eagerly awaited
00:15:55speech. From the genocide in Gaza
00:15:59to the US-Iran crisis, from the Russia-Ukraine
00:16:02war to crises and problems in different
00:16:05geographies, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan
00:16:08will deliver his messages. In fact, President Erdoğan
00:16:12addresses issues that many leaders
00:16:15shy away from. He does not hesitate to express
00:16:19the truth and justice. As every year, we expect
00:16:22him to deliver another one of his speeches
00:16:25this year. We expect
00:16:27President Erdoğan to once again express his messages,
00:16:31solution proposals, and Turkey's red lines
00:16:34regarding many problems in international
00:16:38issues. We expect him to deliver strong
00:16:41messages about Turkey's peaceful and human-centered
00:16:44foreign policy from the United Nations podium once again.
00:16:48Our waiting at Turkevi continues. Of course, I should also
00:16:52point out, Rüya, as you reminded, Turkey
00:16:56will host the COP31 summit this year. Let's
00:16:59mention that important visuals related to
00:17:02this summit, which Turkey will host, are hung
00:17:05on the facade of Turkevi.
00:17:38will attend. Let's say this will happen on Wednesday.
00:17:41President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will also deliver
00:17:45his messages on the sidelines of the Climate
00:17:48Summit. We expect President Erdoğan to deliver
00:17:51messages at the United Nations Climate Summit
00:17:55regarding the steps Turkey has taken in
00:17:59combating climate change, the preparations for the
00:18:03COP31 summit to be held under Turkey's
00:18:06hosting, and especially the zero waste project
00:18:10implemented under the leadership
00:18:16of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's wife, Emine Erdoğan.
00:18:19Yes, now let's continue from where
00:18:23Ahmet left off. We are still watching the images,
00:18:27because preparations are ongoing, but the pace of preparations
00:18:31has also changed a bit. Because
00:18:34the time for President Erdoğan's arrival has
00:18:37probably shortened. We are saying that the
00:18:41situation has accelerated, so President Erdoğan
00:18:44will probably arrive soon, and therefore
00:18:47the activity has also increased. As we said,
00:18:51a security corridor has been created. Citizens
00:18:54are waiting in position at different points
00:18:57on the road, both on the opposite side
00:19:00and in the angle we are currently looking
00:19:04at, with Turkish flags in their hands. This
00:19:07road we are looking at is the road
00:19:11that the convoy will take. President Erdoğan
00:19:15will come using this road. The cars will come
00:19:18from here, and he will get out here. As
00:19:21soon as he gets out, he will first meet
00:19:25with the citizens, the Turks. Now,
00:19:28this visit is as important as this.
00:19:31We say many messages will be given. We
00:19:35tried to share with you the main outlines of what will
00:19:38be discussed, but let's elaborate
00:19:41if you wish. We also have a guest, Dr.
00:19:45Canan Tercan, faculty member at Istanbul
00:19:48Aydın University. Our guest, Professor, welcome
00:19:52to our broadcast. Thank you, good broadcast,
00:19:55Ms. Rüya. Professor, if we look at it this
00:19:58way, in 2014, President Erdoğan came
00:20:02out and said that the world is greater
00:20:06than five. Then
00:20:08we fast forward a bit to 2026, and now
00:20:12the United Nations is saying, "Yes, let's
00:20:16talk about this reform issue," because
00:20:19on the one hand, the UN has started
00:20:23to question its own functionality, and it
00:20:27has turned into a legitimacy problem. What do you
00:20:31say? Yes, our President
00:20:34had informed about this beforehand, and the current
00:20:38situation is as our President stated. These
00:20:42are very important words in terms of Turkey's
00:20:45importance and its understanding of the world.
00:20:49At this point, we have a Turkey that is
00:20:53in a mediating role in both the Russia-Ukraine
00:20:56war and the Iran war. Our President had
00:20:59already stated years ago that the United
00:21:03Nations unfortunately could not fully
00:21:06fulfill its function. Today, the world
00:21:09is only questioning this, especially after
00:21:12the Gaza massacre in 2023. This
00:21:15was an issue that became increasingly
00:21:19prominent in the world. But of course, our President had already
00:21:22stated this from the United Nations
00:21:25podium almost 9 or 10 years ago. Yes,
00:21:29it is a very important point that
00:21:32the United Nations cannot fully fulfill
00:21:35its function and that "the world is greater
00:21:38than five." Look, last year, this
00:21:41was a topic that was discussed
00:21:44a lot, especially the recognition
00:21:48of Palestine as a state by almost
00:21:51all countries in the world. However, only the permanent
00:21:55members. We have received the first
00:21:58photo frames regarding the moments
00:22:02when President Erdoğan was welcomed at
00:22:05the airport upon his arrival in America.
00:22:08We are showing them on the screen.
00:22:11Our Ambassador Ahmet Yıldız and
00:22:15Washington Ambassador Sedat Önal welcomed
00:22:18President Erdoğan in New York upon his
00:22:21arrival in America. They welcomed him with
00:22:25flowers, of course. We are currently
00:22:28sharing those frames with our dear
00:22:32viewers on the screen. As we said, the convoy
00:22:35is also moving step by step towards
00:22:39Turkevi. We expect him to arrive at Turkevi
00:22:42in minutes. Although we say this every
00:22:45time, I had interrupted your sentence. Please
00:22:49continue from where you left off,
00:22:52because the United Nations has directly
00:22:55set its theme as restoring trust.
00:22:59But how will this trust be established
00:23:03while wars continue on one side and
00:23:06vetoes continue on the other? I would
00:23:10like to hear your comments. Yes, this
00:23:13theme is very important. This year,
00:23:17of course, our President's speech will become even
00:23:21more important. Our President, who expressed
00:23:25this years ago, also showed photographs
00:23:28related to Gaza at the United Nations last
00:23:32year, and it was widely covered
00:23:35in the world press. He actually stated
00:23:39that "the world is greater than five." Therefore,
00:23:41we are in a period that the world is
00:23:45seriously following. What else can we
00:23:49say? There are very precious minutes
00:23:53right now. The arrival of our President,
00:23:56of course, the Turkish delegation welcoming
00:24:00him, our diaspora being proud of
00:24:04this, these are all very beautiful
00:24:08things. Today, the Republic of Turkey is going
00:24:10to the United Nations. Yes, many countries
00:24:14go, but Turkey's position is very
00:24:18different. Look, the NATO summit
00:24:21took place in Turkey in recent months.
00:24:25It took place under the hosting of our
00:24:28President. At this point, our President,
00:24:32who is listened to carefully as the fourth
00:24:36speaker in the United Nations General Assembly,
00:24:40will touch upon many issues. Turkey's
00:24:43position is advancing, and our President's
00:24:47moved. There is a point where it flared up a bit more. "It plunged the world into an
00:24:50energy crisis, it continues on the other side,
00:24:53but in the end, after that, we look at Turkey. Wherever
00:24:57a mediation table needs to be set up, Turkey's name comes up. Wherever
00:25:01a problem wants to be solved, we see that Turkey has
00:25:04already sat at that table, or if not, then contact has already
00:25:08been established in some way and it has taken action
00:25:11to bring the parties together. How do you
00:25:14evaluate Turkey's role and President Erdoğan's upcoming diplomatic message
00:25:18and stance?" Yes, you summarized it
00:25:20very well, Ms. Rüya.
00:25:22It was actually a question, but also a question that contained a comment.
00:25:26Turkey's role is very valuable and will become even more valuable.
00:25:30As I just mentioned, we knew Turkey for its
00:25:33mediating role in the Russia-Ukraine war. In the Iran
00:25:37war, I am excluding Israel from this, which could talk
00:25:40to both America and Iran and other parties. It is a very
00:25:44important actor. It is also a very important actor in the Gaza Peace.
00:25:48Unfortunately, where is the war expected to spread? And unfortunately,
00:25:52it is expected to spread to Saudi Arabia. It is a very important actor
00:25:55that talks to Saudi Arabia and has dialogues with it. Unfortunately, there is a possibility
00:25:59of the Red Sea entering the war. And when
00:26:03this possibility is considered, it is again
00:26:07a country that has serious diplomacy with the countries
00:26:10bordering the Red Sea. The Mediterranean and Black Seas
00:26:14are very important for world trade. Turkey is in a very important
00:26:18position with both its borders and its presence here. Therefore,
00:26:21yes, Turkey is in a very important geopolitical position,
00:26:25but at the same time, it draws a strong portfolio
00:26:28in terms of defense industry and presents it to the world very well
00:26:32with diplomacy. There are very few countries that can do this. Today,
00:26:36when you look at England, when you look at France,
00:26:39we see that their defense industries are very strong, but how do they
00:26:43present this to the world? Can they use it for peace? To what extent
00:26:46can their soft power be evaluated by countries?
00:26:50This is actually the main question of our time. We are entering
00:26:54a polarizing process between East and West. Until today,
00:26:57we only talked about Russia-Ukraine, then Iran. We looked up and saw
00:27:01that China was behind Russia, and other countries
00:27:05were behind it. With the possibility of that war ending, the Taiwan
00:27:08war was being talked about. In all these global
00:27:12conflict areas, Turkey has gained a very
00:27:15significant momentum. This needs to be underlined. Look, this year,
00:27:19our President will address the United Nations podium 16
00:27:22times. What does this mean? It means
00:27:25that he is a professional, specialized leader who
00:27:28has successfully conducted diplomacy with different
00:27:32countries. He is there every year as a stronger leader
00:27:35who reads the world and the region very well. Today,
00:27:39we are talking about the Syrian Peace. As you know, many agreements
00:27:43were made regarding Iraq in recent days. We are talking about a Turkey
00:27:46that pioneered and played an important role in both the spread of the
00:27:50"Turkey without terror" process to the region and the re-entry
00:27:54of Iraqi oil into the world markets together with the United States.
00:27:57Therefore, the effect of Turkey is not only
00:28:01in its own geography, but extends to much wider
00:28:04areas. And yes, this year, the United
00:28:07Nations is moving with a theme focused on strengthening,
00:28:11and it needs to, especially as we mentioned
00:28:14earlier. The dysfunctionality of the United Nations was talked
00:28:17about a lot last year and the year before. Look, Lebanon
00:28:21is a serious conflict area, but unfortunately,
00:28:24the impact of the United Nations here is not sufficient.
00:28:28There is Gaza, where even humanitarian
00:28:31aid is not reaching sufficiently. If we are talking
00:28:34about a Gaza where aid is not reaching, we cannot say that the
00:28:38United Nations is fully functioning. We need a strengthened United Nations,
00:28:41and for this, countries need to seriously
00:28:45sit down and consider the evaluation of the
00:28:485 permanent members of the United Nations.
00:28:51Should it be 5, or should this evaluation be done
00:28:55in different ways? It needs to be seriously discussed.
00:28:58This is already on our President's agenda.
00:29:03He will also meet with the UN Secretary-General, and this
00:29:06issue will be discussed in detail, we can say briefly.
00:29:10Especially when we evaluate what you have explained within
00:29:13this framework, we say that President Erdoğan's 16th
00:29:17speech. But every year, when President
00:29:21Erdoğan takes the stage, he actually takes the stage
00:29:24as a stronger leader of Turkey. Now we talked about NATO.
00:29:27This year, we will hold a very successful NATO in Turkey.
00:29:31This will take place in Antalya
00:29:43in November. On one hand, we see that Turkey is
00:29:46in the position of being invited to the G20.
00:29:49There is also the Makkah Alliance, which is quite valuable
00:29:52and important within the region. After that, Turkey was invited
00:29:56and went to all the developments in the region.
00:29:59Its position is very valuable. More
00:30:02new energy cooperation agreements
00:30:06have been made, especially at a time when we are talking
00:30:09about how difficult this winter will be for Europe,
00:30:12we are also talking about how comfortable Turkey will be.
00:30:16In other words, we are going to the United Nations today
00:30:19with a very strong leadership position and even a very
00:30:23strong Turkey position. Perhaps we should talk about this summit in terms
00:30:27of more than just numbers.
00:30:29So, you summarized it very well.
00:30:32"We must say Alhamdulillah, we must say thank God.
00:30:36We have come to a very good position. Today, when
00:30:39we read the news, what do we see? We are talking about the
00:30:42possibility of Russia and European Union countries
00:30:46entering a serious war. We are especially talking
00:30:49about England and France, Germany. We are talking about
00:30:52Poland acting as a buffer country in between. What
00:30:56happened last week? Donald Trump announced that he would
00:30:59build a very large military base in Poland, even
00:31:03though there are already 11 active American soldiers
00:31:06controlling it. But despite this, we see that the European
00:31:09Union countries and NATO are seriously reinforcing
00:31:12the Polish border in anticipation of the war starting."
00:31:16So how do we read Turkey here? Turkey will again
00:31:19act as a bridge, a mediator, between
00:31:22Europe and the East in this equation. Just
00:31:26as we saw Turkey's success with the grain corridor
00:31:29in the Ukraine War, or if we evaluated Turkey
00:31:33as a state that could successfully conduct Istanbul talks,
00:31:37we will see Turkey on the stage as the main actor
00:31:40to prevent this war from breaking out, or to prevent
00:31:44some attacks that we call small hybrid wars, or to
00:31:47prevent the possibility of the Black Sea closing.
00:31:51Look, the European Union can be called a welfare
00:31:55state for many of its countries, and many different things
00:31:58can be said, but at the point we have reached,
00:32:02as you mentioned, we are talking about a Europe that doesn't
00:32:06know how it will get through
00:32:10started to divide itself. For example, as you know,
00:32:13there was the Ceuta crisis recently, and Italy closed
00:32:17its doors to Spain. Therefore, we are now talking about
00:32:21a Europe that cannot fully act as a unity. We also
00:32:24talk about NATO, and we see that many problems
00:32:27related to defense spending have arisen, meaning
00:32:31that it cannot fully act as a unity within itself. However,
00:32:35there is always Turkey, standing firm. Therefore,
00:32:38Europe will become more dependent on Turkey, and the East will
00:32:42similarly want to engage with Europe by establishing dialogue
00:32:45with Turkey, and this will further increase Turkey's
00:32:48importance. So why did this happen? Of course, Turkey
00:32:52has achieved significant momentum in both defense industry
00:32:55and diplomacy. It has worked hard until today,
00:32:59and it is seeing the results of its efforts. While using
00:33:03its soft power on countries, it also started to strengthen
00:33:06itself, and it has reached a point where we are talking
00:33:10about Turkey in the defense of the Black Sea. And after
00:33:14this, an important point that we need to emphasize
00:33:17is that the world countries will focus on the Black Sea.
00:33:21Why? It is a very important corridor between East and West,
00:33:24and it is very important for world grain trade. As
00:33:28you know, 40% of Africa's grain, such as wheat and
00:33:31barley, used to go through Russia and Ukraine via the
00:33:34Black Sea. And at the point we have reached, there is a
00:33:38possibility of the Black Sea closing. We know that sometimes
00:33:42drones can unfortunately hit our ships. And before
00:33:45the Black Sea closes, Turkey has serious efforts in this
00:33:49regard. And one of the issues that will be brought up at
00:33:52the United Nations, both by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
00:33:55and our President, is Black Sea security. Here, before
00:33:59the Black Sea closes, it was talked about that countries
00:34:02should form a consortium, the United Nations should
00:34:05intervene, and a peaceful agreement should be signed
00:34:09between Russia and Ukraine to ensure that the war does
00:34:12not spread to the Black Sea and that maritime safety
00:34:16and trade continue here. Turkey, which previously
00:34:19managed to make an agreement with both parties in the
00:34:23grain corridor, has succeeded in this. It can do this in
00:34:27the Black Sea as well, just like in the grain corridor.
00:34:31This is also very important for the world. Because,
00:34:34as I mentioned earlier, we are talking about 40% of
00:34:38Africa, but it's not just Africa. These are two very
00:34:41important factors for the world in terms of both energy
00:34:45and food supply, which are locomotives, as you know.
00:34:48When there is a problem in any of them, it leads to
00:34:52the food crisis, which affects many areas, such as feed,
00:34:55and then retail prices. Turkey will intervene to
00:34:58prevent blockages in these areas because the blockage
00:35:01of the Black Sea does not only mean that Turkey cannot
00:35:05trade, but it means that the world will face serious
00:35:09energy and food problems. So why did Turkey bring
00:35:13this up? The Hormuz crisis example is very clear. It
00:35:16was said that the war would last 4 weeks, but Hormuz
00:35:20closed and could not be reopened for months. The world is
00:35:23unfortunately struggling with an energy problem,
00:35:26and the closure of the Black Sea would bring a much greater
00:35:29disaster. Such an agreement needs to be made before
00:35:33it closes. Therefore,
00:35:35we have many issues to talk
00:35:37about at the United Nations this year, and we can say
00:35:41that what we talk about will have a serious impact on the
00:35:45world. On one side, there is Mediterranean security,
00:35:48which will also be on the agenda. The Lebanon issue
00:35:51is very important, as you know, no progress has been
00:35:55made here either. Many theses will be put forward
00:35:58regarding this. The Palestinian issue is also the same. We
00:36:02just talked about it. Especially on the Palestinian
00:36:05issue, instead of what is happening in Gaza, it is expected
00:36:09that this issue will be addressed more in terms of why the
00:36:12international system could not stop it. This is expressed
00:36:16more in foreign sources. I want to talk about a
00:36:20paradoxical situation. On one hand, America and Iran
00:36:23are at war, but Iran gets a visa and goes to the United Nations, no problem. And
00:36:27it should go and make its
00:36:36speech. But Mahmoud Abbas still cannot go and has
00:36:39to address via video conference. But President Erdoğan, as
00:36:42every year, we know that he will dedicate a significant
00:36:46part of his speech to Gaza, to Palestine. In other
00:36:49words, whether Mahmoud Abbas goes or not, I wish he
00:36:52could go and make his speech looking everyone in the eye,
00:36:55but the President... How did it fall
00:36:58so far behind? This is the most obvious
00:37:01example of the United Nations' inability to function. What
00:37:04is the United Nations? It is a platform established
00:37:08for world security, for the provision of food, safety for children.
00:37:12You can extend this to much wider areas, such as maritime
00:37:15security, environmental security, etc. But look,
00:37:18if you cannot use it functionally, if it remains just a podium,
00:37:22if it has become an institution where leaders come and speak
00:37:25like a festival, but cannot fully do what they want,
00:37:29then there are many questions to be asked for the United
00:37:32Nations. This is a serious problem. Yes, Turkey brings
00:37:36up its thesis, the problem with Gaza, the problem with
00:37:40Palestine every year, but should Turkey be the one to
00:37:43bring it up? As a country, of course, they should put
00:37:47forward their own theses, but unfortunately, since
00:37:50they are not recognized as a state, the US veto
00:37:54is very important here. They are not given the right to speak
00:37:57at the United Nations. This is very sad, of course,
00:38:01very sad, but this year, probably most countries
00:38:04will touch upon the Gaza issue, the Palestine issue,
00:38:08and they will put serious pressure, and they should,
00:38:11because there is a stalled process. This is also...
00:38:14Please don't forget your
00:38:19words. Now, the activity in front of Turkey has started.
00:38:22Our friend is also waiting for us, ready. Let's
00:38:25go to New York once again, if you wish. Ahmet
00:38:29Yılmaz is ready, let's give the floor to Ahmet. Let's hear the final
00:38:33preparations from him. Ahmet, the floor
00:38:36is yours. The President is expected
00:38:40to be in front of Türkevi within 10 minutes.
00:38:43The President will arrive. We expect him to greet
00:38:46the Turkish citizens waiting for him right next to the
00:38:50Türkevi, as he does every year, and to respond to their
00:38:53expressions of love. There are not only Turkish
00:39:27citizens. As I stated in my previous broadcasts,
00:39:30citizens from different countries are also here
00:39:34in front of Türkevi to see and welcome President
00:39:37Erdoğan. Let's also mention that intensive security
00:39:41measures have been taken in this regard compared
00:39:44to previous years. The New
00:39:47York Police Department tightened security measures
00:39:50here from the moment President Erdoğan's plane landed. Let's mention
00:39:53that different barriers have been placed and
00:39:57intensive security measures have been taken for President Erdoğan. President
00:40:01Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will be at Türkevi
00:40:04within 10 minutes. He will stay here at Türkevi for
00:40:08his accommodation, as he has for the past 5
00:40:12years. He will also continue his contacts within the
00:40:16framework of his visit to the United States at Türkevi.
00:40:18President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will start his busy schedule
00:40:22tomorrow. We expect him to start his program with bilateral
00:40:25meetings with leaders. In the evening,
00:40:29President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will meet with the Turkish
00:40:32community, and we expect him to deliver a speech
00:40:35there. Of course, let's mention that
00:40:39on Tuesday, all eyes will be on President
00:40:42Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's speech within the scope
00:40:46of the United Nations General Assembly. Our wait in front
00:40:50of Türkevi continues. Let's mention that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan
00:40:53will be here within minutes. Since this
00:40:57morning, there has been heavy rainfall in New York.
00:41:00Despite this, Turkish citizens came
00:41:03to this point hours ago to welcome President
00:41:07Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. They have been waiting here
00:41:10for hours to show their love for President
00:41:14Erdoğan. They have Turkish flags in their hands.
00:41:17Also, let's mention that there are also banners
00:41:21with expressions of love for President Erdoğan
00:41:24in their hands. From
00:41:407 to 70, young and old, even babies are here to
00:41:44welcome President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in front
00:41:47of Türkevi. Let's mention that President Recep Tayyip
00:41:51Erdoğan will be at Türkevi within minutes.
00:41:54I should also mention that his arrival is approaching,
00:41:57and it is worth saying that the activity here has
00:42:01increased a little more. As far as I can observe
00:42:04here, the activity has increased a little. We can
00:42:07say that President Erdoğan's arrival is close.
00:42:10On September 22, President Erdoğan will address
00:42:14the United Nations General Assembly. He will deliver
00:42:17his messages to the world from the United Nations
00:42:21podium for the 16th time. In previous
00:42:24years, President Erdoğan gave many important
00:42:27messages. He delivered historic speeches. He used the phrase
00:42:31"The world is bigger than 5" for the first time in
00:42:342014 to criticize the structure of the United
00:42:38Nations. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan used this
00:42:41expression. And every year, President Erdoğan repeated
00:42:45this criticism. This year, let's mention that
00:42:48the main theme of the 81st General Assembly of the United
00:42:51Nations is "Rebuilding trust, managing transformation,
00:42:55and a United Nations that delivers results for everyone."
00:42:58So, will the United Nations be able to carry out this
00:43:01reform? We don't know, but President Erdoğan's...
00:43:04Let's also mention
00:43:07bilemiyoruz ancak Cumhurbaşkanı Erdoğan'ın.
00:44:10that visuals and posters related to the Cop 31
00:44:13summit have been hung on the facade of the house,
00:44:16and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's messages on this
00:44:20issue have also been reflected on the facade of Türkevi.
00:44:23President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will also attend the UN
00:44:25Climate Summit on Wednesday
00:44:28as part of his US visit. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan
00:44:31will be at Türkevi within minutes. As every year,
00:44:35he will be greeted with expressions of love from
00:44:39Turkish citizens and citizens from different countries
00:44:42who have come here to welcome President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan,
00:44:46and he will greet them. After that, let's mention
00:44:49that a large delegation is also in front of Türkevi
00:44:53to welcome President Erdoğan. Afterwards, President Erdoğan
00:44:56will rest. Let's emphasize that he has no program
00:45:00for today. From now on, that
00:45:03is, starting tomorrow, President Erdoğan will begin
00:45:07his intensive contacts here, as he does every year.
00:45:10We expect President Erdoğan to be at Türkevi within
00:45:14minutes. President Erdoğan's plane landed in New York
00:45:17at 22:50 Turkish time. Of course,
00:45:21there were also people at the airport to welcome
00:45:24President Erdoğan. Permanent Representative
00:45:27to the United Nations Ambassador Ahmet Yıldız was one of
00:45:31the people who welcomed President Erdoğan and his wife Emine
00:45:34Erdoğan at the airport. Let's also mention that
00:45:37Washington Ambassador Sedat Önal also welcomed President
00:45:41Erdoğan. The convoy has arrived. President Recep
00:45:43Tayyip Erdoğan has arrived at Türkevi as of this
00:45:47moment. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's official
00:45:51car. Let's mention that as every year, Turkish
00:45:54citizens are intensely greeting him with expressions
00:45:57of love here, right next to the United Nations.
00:46:01Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will now get out of his official
00:46:04car. As I mentioned, he will first go to the
00:46:06Turkish citizens and citizens from different countries
00:46:11who came to welcome him
00:46:12here and respond to their
00:46:16expressions of love. Let's mention that President
00:46:20Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is also responding to
00:46:23the expressions of love from Turkish citizens and
00:46:26citizens from different countries who came to welcome
00:46:30him here. We observed that young and old,
00:46:33even babies, are also here. Turkish citizens, accompanied
00:46:37by chants of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, are welcoming
00:46:48President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in front of Türkevi
00:46:51with Turkish flags in their hands, as they do
00:46:55every year. President Erdoğan is also responding to
00:46:58their expressions of love, as he does every year.
00:47:01In addition to Turkish citizens,
00:47:05let's mention that a large delegation is also present
00:47:08in front of Türkevi. President Erdoğan,
00:47:12Mr. President, we came from Germany to welcome
00:47:15you. Let's
00:47:18listen for a moment. They got a little excited to see you,
00:47:22in that sense... May God be pleased
00:47:24with you. The President
00:47:26gave a small gift
00:47:33to the baby. He asked where the mother was,
00:47:36and the father said that the
00:47:39mother was far away.
00:47:42Naturally, it's very crowded, and the baby is also
00:47:45with such a crowd.
00:47:49The President loves you very much. He is
00:49:55from Egypt. He prays for you
00:49:58after prayer, Mr. President.
00:50:02Last year, last year he was here with
00:50:05him and the President...
00:50:08Some people want to take photos,
00:50:52"annesi nerede diye sordu, babası da annesinin uzakta
00:50:56kaldığını
00:50:56söyledi.
00:51:05haliyle çok kalabalık bebek de bu kadar
00:51:07kalabalık
00:51:09sizi çok seviyor cumhurbaşkanı,
00:51:11mısırlıymış, namazdan sonra size dua
00:51:15ediyormuş, sayın cumhurbaşkanım, geçen yıl,
00:51:18geçen yıl kendisiyle burada ve cumhur."
00:52:35some people want to collect memories.
00:52:37Of course, he doesn't want
00:52:39to disappoint those who have been waiting for President
00:52:43Erdoğan for so many hours. On the other
00:52:46hand, we also want to listen.
00:52:49May God grant
00:52:51you a long life.
00:52:55Mr. President.
00:52:56Those who pray,
00:53:02those who welcome, those who want to convey
00:53:11their message, "May God protect you,"
00:53:14you can hear them too, "May God protect you."
00:53:18Those who express their love,
00:53:20many different messages are currently being
00:53:24conveyed to President Erdoğan. How crowded
00:53:26his surroundings are. First, he waved from
00:53:30a distance, then he removed the barrier in
00:53:33between, and slowly
00:55:21approached the Turkish citizens waiting for
00:55:24him. He didn't say "far or near,"
00:55:28he tried to shake every hand extended
00:55:32to him.
00:55:35he made sure to shake every extended
00:55:38hand, there were people from Germany, there were people from Egypt,
00:55:42he tried to talk to everyone who wanted to talk
00:55:45to him, he received the greetings, he received
00:55:49the messages, some had requests, some
00:55:52just wanted to express their love, there were those who said
00:55:55"we love you", there were those who said "welcome", there were those who said
00:55:59"we are behind you", there were those who prayed,
00:56:02President Erdoğan is now..." with these prayers, with this
00:56:06flood of love, with this enthusiastic
00:56:08welcome, as of now, we can say
00:56:11he is in Türkevi. We see him walking
00:56:14through the security corridor that the New York Police
00:56:17Department implemented for the first time this year,
00:56:20which we were not used to in previous
00:56:23years, and he is not alone,
00:56:26we also see Hakan Fidan, the Minister
00:56:29of Foreign Affairs, next to him. Our Minister of Energy, Alparslan
00:56:33Bayraktar, is also with him. they are advancing together
00:56:36in this corridor. Journalists are also waiting
00:56:40for him at this point. There was a possibility
00:56:43of a Q&A session here. Let's listen, if you like.
00:56:46We will hold the general assembly.
00:56:50Your schedule is quite busy, sir.
00:57:01A question was asked to President Erdoğan, but.
00:57:06the President said that his schedule would be busy,
00:57:08instead of giving a clear answer to the
00:57:11question, he shared the information that his
00:57:15trip to America would continue with a busy schedule.
00:57:19It was already a very long journey, we are talking
00:57:21about a journey that lasted 10 hours,
00:57:25and then it took almost an hour for him
00:57:29to arrive at Türkevi from the airport, and as soon
00:57:32as he arrived, he immediately met with the citizens.
00:57:36President Erdoğan had just met with the citizens.
00:57:39He said that they would have a very busy
00:57:43United Nations program. Our colleague
00:57:52there had shared with us several times how busy President Erdoğan's
00:57:56schedule was, and he had already
00:57:59conveyed it, and again, in the same
00:58:02way, we know that President Erdoğan
00:58:06will not only make a speech at the United Nations
00:58:09General Assembly. We can say
00:58:12that this is President Erdoğan's first message
00:58:15in the United States. Let's also mention
00:58:19that his statement about how busy his
00:58:22schedule is. Ahmet shared it with us, but let's
00:58:26go over it once more, if you like. Why did President
00:58:29Erdoğan say his schedule is busy? Yes, as of
00:58:32now, he will go to rest, but starting tomorrow,
00:58:36he will have bilateral meetings.
00:58:39He will also hold meetings with the leaders
00:58:43of different countries in the same way.
00:58:47"Our broadcast guest was also there, we had to interrupt
00:58:51Dr. Canan Tercan to bring
00:58:54those moments live on screen as President Erdoğan arrived.
00:58:57Teacher, I want to start by apologizing first,
00:59:01don't mention it, we are all watching
00:59:04a very exciting process,
00:59:08it's a very important process, so please, I'm
00:59:10listening. Now, if you want, it's very valuable for us,
00:59:14and it's also very important for our Turkish
00:59:17citizens waiting for our President there.
00:59:20The very powerful state leader coming from Turkey, what a great
00:59:24pride for them. We are proud here, who knows how long they have been
00:59:28waiting there since the early hours of the morning, they have been
00:59:32preparing for this for days, it's a very important enthusiasm,
00:59:35so these are very precious times. Now, teacher, President
00:59:38Erdoğan's first message was that his schedule
00:59:42is quite busy. Let's continue
00:59:45a bit on this busy schedule, we have a rough program,
00:59:48but it wouldn't be right to convey it before it happens, but it's
00:59:52possible to say that the Eastern Mediterranean
00:59:55will also be on the table, and the topics where we will talk
00:59:59about a Turkey free of terrorism will also be on the table, and perhaps
01:00:02we can add Iraqi oil to this. In the same way,
01:00:06there will be topics where we will talk about energy.
01:00:09If we look at it, perhaps
01:00:12in the later stages, Europe might also be on the agenda,
01:00:16and bilateral meetings
01:00:20will be held with some leaders. What do you say, how should we
01:00:24interpret these varied bilateral contacts
01:00:27within this busy schedule? I want to give details but I can't. I want you to elaborate a bit,
01:00:30teacher. These are very valuable
01:00:34meetings. Meetings related to Turkey are very
01:00:37important, global meetings are very important. As you know,
01:00:41the world is currently in a state of crisis, there are serious
01:00:44problems in energy supply. The Strait of Hormuz is a very important
01:00:48issue here. Therefore, meetings related to this are also
01:00:51very important. The problems in logistics support need
01:00:54to be solved. These will also be one of the topics.
01:00:57There are many issues waiting for a solution.
