"If you are not at the negotiation table, you become the meat on the chopping block": Erdogan Talks About a New World Order
Turkish President Erdogan made a statement at a meeting of his ruling Justice and Development Party regarding global power shifts, stating that the world is at the center of a "cruel struggle for division and competition," and that a country's status depends on its own strength.
"A new competition around control and division of influence is taking shape, driven by the struggle for energy resources and dominance over trade routes."
His remarks come as the United States takes military action in Venezuela and openly expresses interest in Greenland.
"We are at the center of this cruel struggle for division. Those who cannot sit at the negotiation table will eventually become someone else's meal."
Erdogan's strong words reflect a profound shift in the global political landscape — the redivision of spheres of influence and the rise of power politics have become the new reality, while traditional international institutions are showing signs of weakness.
