I would also like to congratulate his successor. I hope this years session of the General Assembly convening with the theme of focusing on people, striving for peace and a decent life for all will bring goodness to all the worlds people. Honorable president , esteem unfortunately global peace and stability have regressed further since our meeting last year. We continue to see the ugly face of terrorism and war, in different corners of the world. Who are fed by the averment of conflict, continue their acts, spreading them across different regions. We are anxiously observing the violent actions of radical currents converging on xenophobia, cultural racism and animosity against islam. Most negative way of reversing this negative outlook would be to engage in a sincere cooperation here under this roof. The most positive way would be to engage in a sincere cooperation here under this roof. We need to develop a new perspective to promote world peace. No crisis, no threat can be resolved by leaving it to play out on its own. We all have to shoulder responsibility for a safer and more prosperous world. It is with this understanding that turkey is pursuing a enterprising and humanitarian foreign policy. Honorable mr. President , esteemed delegates the syrian , conflict enters its seventh year. This conflict has created deep wounds in the country, the region and the whole world as well. In syria, a whole civilization being annihilated, with civilians and innocent children. Destroying this country, being fed by instability and russian, terrorism and no spreads like a cancer across borders. , being fed by instability terrorism now spreads like a cancer across borders. Destroying this country, terrorism spreads like a cancer across borders. The people of syria demanding democracy, freedom, justice and a Bright Future are unfortunately left alone by the International Community. Turkey could not remain in different to the tragedy of these people whom we see as our brothers and sisters, regardless of their original creed, and to whom we are connected with deep historical ties. Outbreak of the conflict in syria in the spring every1, we have exerted kind of humanitarian and political effort to solve the problem and we will continue to do so. Hosting moretly than 3 million syrians, and more than 200,000 iraqis in our country. We have launched, together with russia and iran, the meetings with the participation of all conflicting parties in an attempt to establish a permanent ceasefire and peace in the country. Following our initiative, the geneva process, which was blocked for a long time, has now been revived. We are putting into practice now, a new plan to ensure the new security of the idlib region in syria, within a framework of agreement reached before. Turkey would be supportive of every step towards this based on the territorial integrity and respect for the democratic demand of its people. We have taken and continue to take all kinds of measures for those who came to our country with the outbreak of the syrian crisis, and to stem the influx of refugees into europe. We meet all the needs of these people, from shelter, food, clothing, health care, education, stand arts with best standards which are persuaded by everyone who visits our country. But i would like to underscore that we have not received provisional support from the International Community, especially from the European Union, for the efforts we have been carrying out. The expenditures of our public institutions, of our Civil Society institutions and for our people, in order to meet the needs of those living in the camps and cities in turkey, have so far exceeded 30 billion u. S. Dollars. In turn, the European Union has only sunk 820 Million Euros out of the 3 billion euros that they promised. Total assistance from the International Community, through the United Nations remains around 520 million. It did not comment it did not come into our budget, mind you. This money goes to the syrians, i should point out. None of this money goes into turkeys budget. This money, given to those in need by the relief agencies, through the relevant institutions of the United Nations mind you. Before the whole world here, i hereby call on all the countries and the International Organizations which have put all of the burden of the 3. 2 Million People on turkish shoulders only, i call on them to fulfill the promises they have made. Country turkey is a that carries out humanitarian aid and Development Assistance activities around the world. Not only do we welcome those who throughour country, but the turkish cooperation and coordination agency, through the disaster and Management Authority of turkey and through the Turkish Red Crescent, and the Civil Society organizations, we rush to the help of all those who are suffering and under oppression, regardless of which part of the world they may be. For example through its official , as the Civil Society organizations turkey has spent , one billion u. S. Dollars for rick reconstruction of somalia so far. The work that we carry out would indeed set an example for similar efforts. According to confirmed oecd statistics, with 6 billion, secondrun the Worlds Largest donor and top other countries. Yet turkey is the 17th largest economy in the world. 8 of its National Income for humanitarian assistance, turkey is one of the six countries that could meet that you and target. So, as you see, turkey is working really hard to word a sustainable world, which is the main message of this General Assembly. We will continue in the coming days with the same consideration in mind. Honorable mr. President , esteemed delegates, turkey is engaged in an intensive fight against the organizations of the kk,ion such as the p nourished by the instability in syria and iraq. Additionally, our fight against the terrorist organizations which attempted to change the democratic regime of turkey by a bloody coup is also ongoing. We have recovered 243 residential areas, in land larger than 2000 square kilometers, thanks to the shieldon euphrates initiated in syria following the attacks on our borders. We have neutralized 3000 militants during that operation. Syrians returned to and resettled in the region that we cleaned up from the terrorists. Shieldration euphrates is a single greatest accomplishment against darish since the occupation of the region. I must highlight the following fact most of the group claiming , to fight against daesh in the region have no such real purpose. These groups, and forces use it as a pretext to realize their own agenda. The efforts to change the demographic structure in the region it has captured, to seize the property of its people, to kill or exile those who stand against it, all of these things form a crime against humanity. If the fight against daesh is not conducted on a legitimate it will be unavoidable for the world to come under the threat of a new daeshlike entity. Iraq also needs the compromises to be reached on the basis of territorial integrity to build a common future. The demand for independence and conflicts in the region must be avoided. The demand for independence that can cause conflicts in the region must be avoided. We hereby call on the Iraqi KurdishRegional Government to abort the initiative they have launched in that direction. Ignoring the clear and determine songs of turkey in these matters will lead to a conflict which will which will deny the government of the opportunities they currently enjoy. We all should work on building tranquility, peace, security and stability instead of sparking new conflicts in the region. Esteemed mr. President , your delegates, aside syria and iraq, we are also closely following the region such as libya and yemen, where terrorist organizations are trying to establish influence. International communities support through the legitimate government in libya, shall cons tribute that shall come to be to the stability of the country. Mind, thate kept in if the mistakes made in syria and iraq are repeated nvidia, then that will expose the whole world, particularly in europe too much greater threats top much greater to much greater threats. Another issue lays another issue that turkey lays delicate emphasis on is of the immediate resolution of conflicts that have erected in the gulf region. We believe that the sanctions negatively affecting the Living Conditions of the qatari people should be lifted. We support the mediation efforts of kuwait for the resolution of the crisis. Our hope is that these efforts would yield a positive result. Also hope that saudi arabia, whom we see as another problem in the gulf region would show it sincere will for the. Resolution of this issue. Another important problem is the issue of palestine. We consider it to be the gaping wound of the world. By extension, the preservation of the historical state of both jerusalem and sharif, that the sensitivity of the issue has been demonstrated. The continuation of the peace doness there can only be on the condition that israels immediately stops illegal settlement activities and takes steps towards a two state solution. For in that context, i call on the International Community to support our palestinianrusalem,d gaza, as they struggle for an independent and geographically unified palestinian state. Despite the current absence of conflict, the balkans is another which stillisis faces serious challenges. For this reason, we attach great importance to the integration of balkan countries with the euro atlantic institutions. Turkey will continue to do its part for peace, stability and welfare to prevail in this exceptional part of the world. The territorial integrity of azerbaijan, georgia is the key azerbaijan and georgia is the key for regional stability in the southern caucasus. We need to work harder for the resolution of conflicts in areas such as south ossetia, noticing it moreh crisis that we today has the potential to spark a regional and even Global Crisis tomorrow. Framework, i would also like to underline that we are against all sorts of nuclear weapons, which have come to increasingly occupy the world agenda in recent weeks. Obvious that we could not overcome such problems unless we completely clean the world from the scorch of nuclear weapons. We are saddened by the fact that a comprehensive negotiation process started in 2008 has ended due to the incomprehensible sounds of the greek cypriots. We know that the Natural Resources discovered in that mediterranean area will serve in the peace stability and welfare of the region. We need a solution that respects the right of turkish cypriots. While struggling with all of these global and regional problems, our world was shocked once again by the said news that we received from jan mark a few weeks ago from myanmar a few weeks ago. The Muslim Community in myanmar is being subjected to almost an ethnic cleansing, with terrorist acts used as a pretense. The villages of the Rohingya Muslims have already been living in poverty and deprived of their citizenship. They are burned down as hundreds of thousands of people are forced to migrate from the region and the country. In bangladesh, the country to which the people migrating from the region are diverted, those cams are not in a position to fulfill even the minimum humanitarian needs. The case in syria, the International Community has not even given a good account of itself regarding the humanitarian plight which the Rohingya Muslims have been exposed to. If this tragedy in what is most important is to ensure the people will have taken refuge outside of their country, in bangladesh, maintain their life and safety, peace and welfare. They have lived for centuries. Turkey is endeavoring for the end of this crisis as well. Recently, we had a special session on that matter. My wife, my son, who visited the camps in bangladesh immediately after the latest crisis personally witnessed the humanitarian plight. The clothing, food and other humanitarian aid, we are looking into the second phase of such aid. Meeting ofay for the islamic Islamic Organization ct group in the premise of the United Nations. As i have said, my wife, son, and my ministers of turkey, the. Official Aid Organization of turkey went there for aid. They are the only official Aid Organization. The Turkish Red Crescent and other ngos continue their activities to deliver aid to the muslims in myanmar. If concerned countries provide the means we would like to continue our assistance activities in a more comprehensive way. I discussed these issues with his excellency. We are preparing ourselves. All of these developments confirm the real advance of our appeal. The world is bigger than five. Here on this roof we need to understand it is late for us to reform the Security Council. Under this roof we are representing the whole world. Everyone will search for their own ways to help themselves and their round. If this understanding prevails our world will be dragged into chaos and cruelty. If western countries do not prevent xenophobia, racism and animosity against islam, if the countries in the crisis regions do not demonstrate the will to fight terrorist organizations and poverty, and do not cooperate with one another on all of these fronts, who can we how can we reach our ideals of peace for all on a Sustainable Planet . It is not for the benefit of anyone for the continuation of this distorted system which no longer has the ability to take steps for humanity under its current form. We want the Un Security Council to have a transparent and effective structure. We have proposed that the Security Council consist of 20 members with the same rights and competencies to serve for two years, of which are replaced every year. All countries will have a say in competencies to serve for two the Important Institution when it is their turn. It is imperative we transform the u. N. Into a different body because the world is changing. It is not the same world. When the u. N. Was established after the second world war. We should be talking about the u. N. Being administrated from the entire world and the embodiment of the humanities common conscious. Before i conclude my remarks, let me remind you that regardless of the color of our faces and eyes, our tears are the same. Iron ridge you to take action to stop the tears flowing in different parts of the world. I hope the work of the 72nd session will contribute to our efforts. I salute with amnesty and respect all peoples represented at this joint parliament of humanity. On my own behalf and behalf of my country, my greetings to you all, god bless you. [applause] on behalf of the General Assembly, i wish to thank the president of the republic of turkey. Right i regret you stay seated. I request you stay seated.
