Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan declared on Tuesday that the global system is undergoing a root-and-branch transformation in which new alliances are being forged, as he warned that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has thrown the world economy into serious turbulence, APA reports citing Türkiye Today.
"The global system is undergoing a fundamental change. New alliances are being formed," Erdogan said after a cabinet meeting at the Presidential Complex in Ankara that lasted approximately two hours and 45 minutes. "Who will control energy resources and trade routes? Who will be the new leaders of the global system?"
Drawing a parallel to the redrawing of borders a century ago, Erdogan said the region had once again been designated as the battleground for a new world order. He maintained that Türkiye had prepared well for this moment, citing steps taken to diversify energy sources, develop underground resources and overhaul the country's security framework.
