Davutoglu says Turkey wants to create a new region on friendship, good neighborhood
ISTANBUL (A.A) - 26.03.2011 - Turkey's foreign minister said on Saturday that Turkey wanted to create a new region based on friendship, good neighborhood and integration.
Ahmet Davutoglu said Turkey's target was not to have only two or three sovereign countries in its region in 2023--when the Turkish Republic would celebrate the 100th anniversary of its foundation.
"Every person is equal in this region, and we are sharing the same geography," he said in a Wilton Park conference on "Turkey's polices for engagement in the contemporary world" in Istanbul.
Davutoglu said Turkey wanted a comprehensive security, stability and freedom in 2023.
Also, the minister said Turkey was eager to become a full member of the European Union (EU), but at the same time it wanted to boost its relations with the Middle East, Russia and the United States.
Davutoglu said Turkey was also willing to become an active power in its geography.
