Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s address to the 81st session of the UN General Assembly has been published as a book in Turkish, English and Arabic, according to the Turkish Presidency.
Published under the motto “A Fairer World Is Possible,” the book presents Erdogan’s messages to the international community and outlines his views on major global challenges. The Presidency described the publication as a historic text addressing ongoing crises and said it was intended as a resource for the international public and future generations.
Focus on Gaza and regional conflicts
The address highlights the humanitarian tragedy in Gaza, with Erdogan arguing that lasting peace in the Middle East must pass through Gaza. It also examines developments in Lebanon, the destabilizing effects of the war involving Iran and the challenges stemming from the Russia-Ukraine war.
According to the Presidency, the speech also considers the international system’s inability to resolve global crises and offers perspectives on how a more effective international order could be established.
From global governance to artificial intelligence
Beyond current political issues, the address discusses the future of humanity, including Erdogan’s “The World Is Bigger Than Five” principle, the fight against terrorism, climate change and the future of artificial intelligence.
The publication aims to pass the speech’s messages on global peace, stability and prosperity on to future generations, the Presidency said.
The book concludes with a poem by Turkish poet Sezai Karakoc. The poem says that silence will not make an issue disappear, arguing that even if people evade responsibility, remorse, history and divine judgment cannot be avoided.
