From Erdoğan to the world order: this cannot go on!

In his speeches in the US, where he was for the UN General Assembly, both at the General Assembly and at the other meetings he attended, President Erdoğan voiced his opposition to the world's current order at the highest pitch. With these contacts, Erdoğan has carried his own politics to a global level and is playing the role of the world's main opposition leader on behalf of the nations that suffer from the injustice and distortion of today's world.

The world order as it stands is not just. Because it is not just, it is neither solution-producing nor stability-ensuring. Even the simplest matters can turn into chronic problems within the UN's present structure and increasingly bring calamities upon the world. In a world with 1.5 billion Muslims, there is not a single Muslim country on the UN Security Council. This situation turns the Muslim world into an arena of power struggles.

The founding members of the UN prefer to fight even their wars among themselves not within their own borders but in Muslim countries. The continuation of the war in Syria today absolutely does not stem from disagreements among the Syrian people themselves; on the contrary, it stems from the disagreement among the UN's founding countries. Moreover, their five-member structure does not have the power of sanction that would ensure their agreeing with one another, forcing them to agree and preventing more blood from being shed. Since their wars take place in Muslim geography anyway, they can continue their wars with one another as if playing a computer game, without feeling the pain of any death, destruction or human drama.

That is why it is the US and Russia, not the groups fighting each other in Syria, that negotiate the ceasefire to be made in Aleppo. Meanwhile, children, women and civilians continue to die in Aleppo.

Among leaders, only Erdoğan voices that there is a distortion in this affair and that this distortion stems, above all, from the present structuring of the world order. That is why, whether it is ignored or unseen, he does not cease to disturb like a conscience. His words, his stance, his very existence cause a sense of shame in those who are part of this order and have a little crumb of conscience... Like the heart of a heartless world, the soul of a soulless world...

They tried repeatedly to overthrow him in order to silence this voice, they tried every kind of coup, they tried to discredit him, as they did to all earlier opponents. But Erdoğan was neither toppled by coups nor loses anything of his standing. Even those who try to discredit him continue to listen to him secretly, to cock an ear secretly to his voice. History repeats itself in this respect too. Once a conscience has been warned, it is henceforth a hard test that one faces. No one has an excuse in this world. There is an Erdoğan and a Turkey that read the requirements of humanity and justice to the conscience of the entire world. He shows, tells and teaches that politics, international relations and humanity can be otherwise...

Erdoğan's power in Turkey came from the rightful, strong and conscientious opposition he displayed against the entrenched powers. With this power he covered significant distance in Turkey. He made the people, who had been left weak, the state. Today Turkey's power stems from its people being the state and its state being the people, that is, from the integration of state and people. Because that is so, when the state was attacked on July 15, it was a vigorous people, who knew their gains well and did not want to lose them, who stood against the attack.

Erdoğan pursues in the world the very same politics of justice that he has displayed and been largely successful with in his own country. The more he does this, the more he draws fire upon himself. But, unlike the leftist revolutionaries, he does not do this merely with revolutionary fantasies. He wants justice, above all, in order to demand the rights of his own people. Because Turkey is affected in the first degree negatively in the present world order by the policies pursued by the powerful. The cost of the policies pursued by the powerful in Syria is paid by the peoples of Syria and Turkey. And Erdoğan brings to the world's agenda the shameful situation whose responsibility in fact belongs to all of humanity.

He says that the world's priority is stopping the blood flowing in Syria. His interlocutors, however, are busy only calculating who will govern Syria and how, and what share will fall to them from the power to be established.

This is so clear that it gives Erdoğan a great psychological and moral superiority in bilateral and closed meetings too, and he spares his words in no way. The US, having voiced at the outset the fight against Assad, then suddenly forgetting Assad and turning to the fight against DAESH, and in this cause continuing to support another terrorist organization, the PYD, despite Turkey...

There is no way of explaining to Turkey the US's alliance with the PYD and the aid given to it. The US continues to carry this situation as a contradiction and therefore as a burden on its back. Facing it is a Turkey that questions the right to define the terrorist as it wishes and to whitewash the terrorist if he gets along with it, and that derives its power from its consistency.

The game of FETÖ's mischief-making, which made Turkey look as if it supported DAESH and, on the contrary, tried to push Turkey into a defensive position, did not work. On the fight against DAESH there is a Turkey and an Erdoğan that say "bring it on". There is a Turkey that, with the Euphrates Shield operation, in a short time successfully seized very important positions from DAESH together with Free Syrian Army elements, and that, doing in a few days what 65 countries could not do together, collapsed the DAESH legend produced by the present racket. And it is Turkey, too, that caught the PYD red-handed, let alone fighting DAESH, dancing together with it.

Erdoğan is telling Joe Biden that the US, by landing two plane loads of weapons for the PYD in Kobani in these days, is playing a role that deepens the problem in Syria even further. Biden, by saying he was not aware of this situation, in fact reveals how divided US internal balances are.

Egypt's coup leader Sisi is acceptable to both Clinton and Trump, the candidates of the Democratic and Republican parties in the upcoming US election. Erdoğan throws in their faces the question "what kind of democracy is this, what kind of pickled cabbage?"

This and many more examples brought Erdoğan to the fore during his US visit with his questioning, critical and objecting discourse.

The naked realities of the world, Syria above all, confirm these words of Erdoğan: This cannot go on like this!
