BURSA - The objective of Turkey, nor through out history, nor today was not foreign territory, and it will stay that way in the future said, among other things, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu in Bursa, where he spoke at a lecture .
"The past century for us was a chapter, and we will close this chapter. Without war, without any enemy, without dissrespecting anyone ,once again we will connect Sarajevo with Damascus, Benghazi with Erzurum and Batumi. This is the source of our strength.
Maybe today you can see them like a completely different countries, but 110 years ago Yemen and Skopje were part of one state. Or Erzurum and Begazi. When saying this, others call us 'new Ottomans'.
Someone can reunite connect the whole of Europe without being portrayed as neo-Ropman, and those that are reuniting the Middle East, they are neo-ottomans. To bee seen as Ottomans, Seljuks or Ejubians for us is an honor, but our goal has never been the territory of others, nor will ever be, "said Davutoglu.
