Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Iran protests:

What we see is this: No outcome that other countries expect will come from these demonstrations. But are these real demonstrations? Yes.

Should their needs and demands be taken into account? Yes. Our recommendation is along these lines. There are steps that Iran needs to take.

Firstly, I believe that an agreement can be reached with the United States on the nuclear issue. But the Americans are currently bringing other issues to the table alongside the nuclear issue.

Turkish FM Fidan: There are signs that Israel is seeking to attack Iran.

Q: Not the US, but Israel?

Fidan: Yes.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Ukraine-Russia peace negotiations:

As long as the territorial issue concerning Donbas is not resolved, the deadlock appears unlikely to be broken.

Several scenarios are being discussed, such as demilitarization or the creation of a joint economic zone.

However, the Russian side asks: “Fine, we can demilitarize—but under whose sovereignty will the territory remain?”

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Ukraine-Russia peace negotiations:

Frankly, I wanted the Americans to be a bit more creative.

That was what I said yesterday in Davos, during the ceremony, to Witkoff and Kushner.

The far left tells our young people that marriage and children are obstacles. We know that life is a gift.

You’re never going to find great meaning in a cubicle or in front of a computer screen, but you will find great meaning in the creation and sustenance of human life.

Journalist Yahya Bostan:

The Syrian PKK cannot integrate into Damascus by demanding autonomy.

If the Syrian PKK had complied with the March 10 agreement, it would be in a much stronger position.

Either they will lay down their arms and comply with the fourteen-point agreement, or they will disappear altogether.

Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever:

The United States is by far the strongest power within NATO.

But our dignity is not for sale. We are not slaves.

Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever:

It is time to develop a diversified range of strategic partnerships based on mutual respect and supported by maximum free trade.

And that can indeed be done with middle powers such as Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia.

As far as I am concerned, very gladly also with South America and with India.

Venezuelan Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino López:

As Trump said from Davos, Switzerland, they used weapons against us that had never been used on a battlefield, weapons that no one else in the world had.

That resulted in Venezuela being the laboratory for those weapons.

New post by The White House.
