Erdogan: Region 'smelling gunpowder' due to ongoing wars

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan declared that the idea "The world is bigger than five" has remained on the agenda for 13 years.

Report informs that the Turkish leader, speaking at the opening ceremony of the Antalya Diplomacy Forum, stated that a system dominated by power centers has formed in the world and that he considers this to be unjust.

He noted that the region is "smelling gunpowder" due to the ongoing wars: "We are very pleased with the ceasefire achieved on the initiative of Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. In resolving conflicts, negotiations, not weapons, should play the main role. The path to peace lies through dialogue and diplomacy."
