Kurtulmuş: The old order is collapsing, a multipolar world is forming

Turkey prioritizes diplomatic efforts for the resolution of the Russia-Ukraine war.“Elchi” reports that this was stated by the Speaker of the Turkish Parliament, Numan Kurtulmuş.“We prioritize diplomatic efforts to achieve a just and lasting peace between Ukraine and Russia through negotiations based on international law and the UN Charter. The ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East once again demonstrate that geopolitical confrontations harm global relations. We are facing serious regional and international challenges that will have a long-term impact on the future of our continent and the entire world,” he stated.Kurtulmuş also called for an end to the war that is causing serious damage to civilians and infrastructure in Iran and the Persian Gulf countries, disrupting maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz.“We cannot remain indifferent to the humanitarian tragedy unfolding in the Middle East. The humanitarian disaster in Sudan, the war in Ukraine, the genocide in Gaza, and the war launched by Israel and the US against Iran clearly demonstrate the profound failure of the international order formed after World War II. The current reality reflects a systemic crisis, where lawlessness has become the norm, might has replaced right, and international mechanisms have largely remained ineffective.”He added that significant changes have occurred in the system of applying rules and norms common to countries:“Current events cannot be regarded as temporary. The international system is undergoing a profound transformation. A multipolar world is forming.”
