Erdogan weighs in on “distorted” world order
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan views the world with both grievance and a sense of opportunity.
In a major speech Oct. 1, he assailed the failures of the post-World War II international system, declaring, “There is no chance left for this distorted order, in which the entire globe is encumbered by a handful of greedy people, to continue to exist the way it currently does.”
Erdogan has some concessionary lines that "the existing [international] organizations may be able to meet those needs if they are restructured in an equitable way," but the tone overall is a mix of affront, ambition and Turkish exceptionalism.
