Guardian WorldLO·TR·2 days ago
Turkish President Erdogan stated that international agreements have 'lost their effectiveness' and questioned the UN's legitimacy, arguing it fails to reflect the will of the international community. This rhetoric signals Ankara's growing frustration with the post-WWII global order and may presage more assertive unilateral action in regional disputes. The statement is part of a broader Turkish push for UN Security Council reform, but its immediate policy implications remain unclear.
