Türkiye Taking Historic Steps to Safeguard Its Future: President Erdogan
Ankara, The Gulf Observer: President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday declared that Türkiye is undertaking historic efforts to secure the nation’s future and assert its position as a regional leader amid a rapidly changing global landscape.
The statement came ahead of Erdogan chairing the annual meeting of the Supreme Military Council, following a ceremonial visit to the mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of modern Türkiye.
“Our struggle to make Türkiye the leading nation in its region within the reshaped global order continues, despite the traps set against us and the attacks from both within and beyond our borders,” President Erdogan wrote in the commemorative message, which he read aloud during the solemn ceremony.
Accompanied by members of the Supreme Military Council, the president paid tribute to Atatürk and honored the memory of all those who “sacrificed their lives for our future.”
Highlighting the government’s wide-ranging national agenda, Erdogan added, “We are taking historic steps to safeguard our nation’s future — from security to democracy, from the economy to technology, from the defense industry to foreign policy.”
Looking ahead, the president underscored the importance of the ongoing council session, stating, “We believe that the 2025 meeting of our council will be a new milestone on the path toward the vision of the Century of Türkiye.”
The Supreme Military Council convenes annually to discuss high-level strategic matters, including military appointments and national defense priorities. This year’s meeting is seen as pivotal in shaping Türkiye’s future defense posture and aligning it with the country’s broader national objectives.
