Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Turkey would do what was necessary to restore permanent order in Balkans, Middle East and Caucasus.

Speaking at a conference, Davutoglu said that Turkey targeted to be among top ten economies of the world by 2023, adding that Turkey would extend economic borders into Asia and Africa.


He said that economic borders would be extended, while political borders would remain stable.



We will sign free trade agreements. We will move on to a different paradigm in science and technology. We will pursue a foreign policy focused on humanity, said Davutoglu, adding that the number of Turkey's embassies in Africa increased from 12 to 34 in the past four years.

    ANKARA

    Turkey and Japan agreed on an investment of 22 billion USD for establishment of a nuclear energy power plant in Turkey.
    Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe signed a declaration on setting up a strategic partnership between Turkey and Japan as well as a declaration which guarantees a previously-signed cooperation agreement on nuclear energy.
    In a joint press conference, Erdogan said they took a step for nuclear energy power plant between Turkey and Japan.
    This step was very important to take. We have an ongoing nuclear energy power plant process with Russia in Mersin-Akkuyu. Now, we have taken a step with Japan for another nuclear energy power plant.

  2. Turks Bewitch The Balkans With Their Addictive Soaps....

    Turkish soaps have replaced Latin American shows as must-sees for many TV viewers in the Balkans - tapping into nostalgia for a system of family values that people in the region have lost, and lament.....

    Turn on the TV in any part of the Balkans today and you may well tune into a Turkish soap opera.

    Booming in popularity across the region, according to media research agencies, dozens of these imports are being screened daily on televisions from Albania to the Black Sea.

    Sociologists explain the phenomenon, in part, as a sentimental reaction on the part of viewers in the Balkans to an old patriarchal family model that appears dead in the Balkans but which is still alive in Turkey – at least in TV shows.

    Viewers that Balkan Insight talked to say they love the shows for their realistic characters, intriguing plot lines that include whole families and the lack of violence and obscenities.

    Darko Brocic, director of the AGB Nielsen, which conducts media research across the region, says the popularity of Turkish shows has become immense in recent years and shows no sign of fading.

    ”Turkish soaps have replaced shows from Latin America, which boomed 15 years ago, and have taken over part of their audience share,” he says.

    “They aren't always the most watched shows on TV, but they are in the top 15,“ he adds.

  3. Der Boom am Bosporus.....Flughäfen, Autobahnen, Kraftwerke, Brücken: Mit gigantischen Infrastrukturprojekten will der türkische Premier Erdogan seinem Land einen Spitzenplatz unter den Industrienationen sichern.....

    Bis zuletzt hatte der Flughafenbetreiber Fraport auf den Zuschlag gehofft, im Bieterverfahren für den neuen Großflughafen. Aber dann hatten die Frankfurter doch das Nachsehen. Mit einem Gebot von umgerechnet 22,15 Milliarden Euro ging das Projekt in der am Freitagnachmittag öffentlich veranstalteten und im türkischen Fernsehen übertragenen Auktion an ein Konsortium aus mehreren türkischen Firmen.

    Die Gruppe wird den Flughafen bauen und 25 Jahre lang betreiben. Fraport hatte mit seinem türkischen Partner IC Holding zuletzt gut 22 Milliarden Euro geboten und unterlag nur knapp. „Wir sind an die Grenze des für uns wirtschaftlich Vertretbaren gegangen“, sagte ein Sprecher des Konzerns.

    Vieles, was derzeit in der Türkei geplant wird, ist von so großen Dimensionen, dass selbst kapitalstarke Investoren und leistungsfähige Konzerne erst einmal schlucken müssen. Der Flughafen ist nur eines von einem Dutzend Jahrhundertvorhaben, mit denen Ministerpräsident Erdogan sein Land bis 2023, wenn sich die Gründung der Republik zum 100. Mal jährt, unter die zehn größten Wirtschaftsnationen der Erde führen will. Der Bau eines neuen Atomkraftwerkes, für den der japanische Konzern Mitsubishi Heavy Industries und der französischen Atomtechnikkonzern Areva heute den Zuschlag erhalten haben, ein anderes.

    Derzeit liegt die Türkei global auf Rang 17. In der EU wäre das Land, gehörte es dazu, die Nummer sechs. Aber beim Wirtschaftswachstum wird die Türkei eh nicht an europäischen Maßstäben gemessen: 2010 und 2011 lag sie mit Wachstumsraten von neun und 8,5 Prozent gleichauf mit China. Und wenn, wie 2012, das Bruttoinlandsprodukt einmal nur um 2,2 Prozent zulegt, dann spricht man bereits von einer Rezession.

  4. Assad must be forced to Geneva II: Ankara -Ahmet Davutoğlu...

    Washington has signaled plans for a small-scale punitive strike on Syria in response to its alleged use of chemical weapons, but Turkey has urged its Western allies to enact action that will not remain cosmetic but will rather force Damascus to the bargaining table for a peace conference in Geneva.

    Speaking Aug. 28 to his British and American counterparts, William Hague and John Kerry, respectively, Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu cautioned them that any action against the Syrian regime should not be conducted just to show that the international community is avoiding “standing still against” the use of chemical weapons in Syria.

    The action should rather pressure the Syrian administration to avoid military solutions in an effort to push it toward accepting a political solution, Davutoğlu told them. Any military operation against the regime should serve the goal of ultimately bringing President Bashar al-Assad to the Geneva meeting, the minister underlined, sources said.

    The methods of action and Turkey’s possible role have yet to be discussed with the Western allies, according to Turkish diplomatic sources. The White House has already ruled out any military effort to oust al-Assad.

    “The options that we are considering are not about regime change,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said Aug. 27. “They are about responding to a clear violation of an international standard that prohibits the use of chemical weapons.”

    Meanwhile, President Abdullah Gül held separate meetings yesterday with Davutoğlu, National Intelligence Organization (MİT) Undersecretary Hakan Fidan and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
    Out of the three meetings, only the one with Erdoğan was a regularly held meeting.

    Erdoğan was to hold an “external security” meeting at the Prime Ministry Official Residence yesterday after the Daily News went to press.
