Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, speaking at the 10th United Nations Forestry Forum in İstanbul on Monday, said İstanbul should become “one of the centers of the UN” for world peace, the alliance of civilizations and fair global development.
Erdoğan was referring to, albeit implicitly, Turkey's aspirations to host a center of mediation in international conflicts. Turkish authorities have been in talks with the UN to establish a UN Mediation Center in İstanbul.
“I would like to underline that it would be very appropriate for İstanbul to become one of the centers of the UN for world peace, the alliance of civilizations, tolerance and fair global development, and reiterate our request on this occasion,” stated the prime minister.
In a first step towards the creation of the center, Turkey plans to establish a prestigious retreat in İstanbul where political leaders of international conflict can get together and negotiate an agreement. The search for a suitable place for the retreat, where the UN flag will wave, is ongoing at the moment.
Hosting a retreat, and eventually establishing a mediation center, will not only pave the way for Turkey to have a leading role in the resolution of conflicts in its surrounding region but will also allow for a settlement of conflicts with the efforts of countries in the region.
Erdoğan also told participants of the forum that works to be carried out in İstanbul for world peace and messages to be conveyed from that city are very important for the construction of a more “livable world.” “İstanbul is both a European city and it is also a city well known in Asia and Africa. … We have issued messages of peace and tolerance as part of our alliance of civilizations efforts. We also believe the colors of İstanbul will provide Turkey big opportunities in its bid to host the Olympics in 2020,” he noted.
Holy Islamic Nova Roma!
There is an interesting quote by P.M. Erdoğan in the linked article. He is quoted as saying that what the world needs most is a "global conscience". He is quoted in the article;
“When I go to countries in the West, I see cities built in the forests where residents enjoy prosperity and richness. But when I go to Somalia, for example, I see children dreaming of a glass of milk. … We are living in an era in which we need a global conscience the most,”
This brings to my mind the call by the Vatican in October 2011 for a "global financial authority".
The push for global control is coming. One Global World under one leader. Apparently P.M. Erdoğan would like to apply for the job.
