Now President Erdogan has said that Turkey and Russia can play a very important role when it comes to regional stability. Was that discussed? Was that on the… Yes, indeed we discussed that. And President Erdogan and Putin discussed those issues, Tetetat meeting as well. And even before the incident, we were underlining that both Russia's and Iran's role are important for a lasting solution and peace in Syria and even in Iraq. And we criticize Iran for the negative role in the region many times. But now we have also a good dialogue with Iran. And foreign minister Zarif is coming to Turkey to discuss all these issues once again. So those countries and plus the countries in the neighborhood, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE Jordan, even Lebanon, are also crucial. Particularly Turkey and Russia play important role to bring stability and peace and to enhance the cessation of the hostilities and to deliver the humanitarian, the in the areas that under siege and also political talks and political transition in Syria. Speaking of Syria, we find there is a divergence of interest between Turkey and Russia. Turkey seems to have this humanitarian framework as well which it values. Whereas for Russia, it seems that it's more about the sort of real-political considerations power illusion of a superpower and so forth. How are you optimistic that Turkey is going to be able to convince Russia on perhaps reviewing its position when it comes to Syria? I don't think we have any problem there. And we cannot say that Russia doesn't care about the humanitarian consequences of the situation. But they need also our advisor information that we are going to share with them regarding this civilians living in and around Halapov. And regarding the moderate opposition, I think they should also get together to understand each other. I don't think the moderate opposition and the coalition and the opposition in Syria are against Russia. They are against what Russia is doing right now and Russia is supporting the regime. And Turkey became a target and this is also the reflection of the rising Islamic phobic tendencies and racism. When I say this, they are very much disturbed but this is true. This is true. You can see how the radical parties support and the seats in the national parliament and the European parliament and the parliament, and I'm not a consul of Europe, has been actually increased in last seven, eight years. Therefore, these are the reflection of all these negative tendencies. He has never changed. Erdogan has never changed since I know him, since he was mayor, since he was chairman of his then party in Istanbul. And since he has been active in politics, Erdogan is the same person. And my party is not the religious or Islamic party. We are totally against this. You can make mistakes as party. You can make mistakes perfectly as politician and therefore your political ideology and the political parties shouldn't be effulated to our religion, Islam, all the religion, Islam. And we are totally against this. In European countries, many political parties, they define themselves as Christian democrats. We define ourselves conservative democrats, not Islamic democrats or something like this. European minister of UK from West, so far, and the secretary general of the council of Europe, he wanted to come from the beginning and we arranged the appointments later on after the high military council meeting and decisions. And he gave solid support to Turkish democracy. And council of Europe is the organization of 47 European countries, including 28 EU member states. And this is the biggest organization in the Europe. And it actually defends the European values, human rights, democrats. This is the home of the European rights rule and democracy. And European Court of Human Rights also is the part of this organization. And I had 11 years in this organization. Therefore, I am very grateful to Yaglan and besides that none of them came to Turkey. And that's why I call it a criticize many European politicians. And they are trying to preach us from where they stay. And they are trying to give us democracy lessons. And they have been threatening us for stopping the negotiation this and that. And we are strongly actually rejecting this kind of behavior. Now the US officials are saying that a Turkish rear at Merrill has sought political asylum in the United States. And this is someone who Turkey had been investigating, even before the coup for links to terrorist organizations. Do you think this could strain relations between the two allies? Well, we have been asking the United States at the highest level to exorbitate that person, even before the coup. And President Erdogan directly spoke to President Obama several times on the phone and also face to face. And they were asking us to give the evidences or legal documents. Now we are giving the additional documents. And they all know that. Everybody knows that. It is him and his organization behind this coup at them and terrorist attack in Turkey. And the one, all these plotters actually are the evidence that they belong to this terrorist organization. Now we want, I don't want to talk on the worst scenario, but you ask me. We are expecting the United States to exorbitate them. And their legal experts are coming. And then Minister of Justice is preparing a file on him. And we will go into take that report or evidences we does when we go to DC together. And high level, we are expecting high level visit from United States. At the end, if they don't actually exorbitate to Turkey, our relations will be affected inevitably. This is not our desire. This is not what I prefer as foreign minister. But I am telling what could happen in that scenario. I mean, if they don't exorbitate, gulant to Turkey. And even now, you also described the feelings of Turkish nations towards the United States, which is actually worrying. But if the United States doesn't exorbitate them, I think the reactions of the Turkish nation will also grow. Therefore, the best solution is the full cooperation between two allies on this matter. And finally, we find that when Turkey and Russia strengthen their relations, some quarters in the West are perhaps feeling a bit insecure. They are possibly viewing this as a zero-sum game and thinking that this is going to have an impact on the balance of power. What would be your message to them? These are the countries, actually, who were advising me personally to normalize the relations with Russia after the incident. It is really funny, strange, that the same countries, same colleagues are actually not very happy, disappointed, very interesting, very interesting. Well, before the incident, shooting down of the Russian aircraft, our relations with Russia were very good. As I said before, we disagreed on certain issues, particularly on Syria, on Crimea, for instance. But our cooperation was very good. So, was it a message towards West that time? No. And now it is not a message. It is not a game. Turkey can perfectly get relations with every country. Why I should force relations or better relations with any country? Because this is the, it is against the principles of our foreign policy, first of all. And we never see our relations with Russia or China or Islamic world as an alternative to our European member, European Union membership or West. Never. And we don't see like this now either. So it is them who is making decisions. They think that they are both, so they can decide on everything. They can give the advises. They can give the lessons. And they are the first class countries. So they are not used to actually any response to their statements. But we have been trying to explain them. Turkey has changed a lot.
