“If you single out the pulling out of foreign forces … from Libya, as the most important, as the top issue, we believe that is wrong. Libya needs support for its political process, the elections, economic issues. A continued Turkish military presence in Libya would help support political stability and security in the energy-rich state. Our military presence there is to help the Libyan army train. We are there as a force of stability and help to the Libyan people. And our priority as far as security is concerned is to help the Libyans establish their united Libyan National Army.”

“There is the payment of $1.4bn we have made for the F-35s and the US had such a proposal in return for these payments. And regarding this, we said let's take whatever steps are needed to be taken to meet the defence needs of our country. We are working to further develop our fleet from the modernisation of the F-16s in our possession to new additional F-16 purchases.”

“Turkey's business model, unlike other actors, is fast, practical and impactful. Turkish products are favoured by Africans as they are cheaper than those from Europe and more quality than the Chinese products. It's important for African countries to diversify their partners, so they can balance growing Chinese influence and Western powers that try to maintain their hegemony with new actors. Hence strengthening ties with Turkey will benefit African nations.”

“At the individual level of analysis, President Erdogan perceives a threat from the US thinking that it is intentionally undermining him with the ultimate goal of removing him from power. This frustration and threat perception leads President Erdogan to seek a counterbalancing alliance with Russia against the US. However, it also puts Turkey in an extremely weak position towards Russia with which it has more competing interests than common ground.”

“Turkey's approach toward women's is quite well-known: women are present in every aspect of life. Our views would apply to Afghanistan as well. Whenever women become more involved, more active in every aspect of life, we can support them if they would need us in healthcare, security and other walks of life. Turkey will not work with the Taliban unless they are recognized by the international community. If they will be accepted and recognized we can do business, but if not, we won't do business with them.”
