Why Erdogan wants a UN seat for Muslims – Analysis

"The world is bigger than five" has been his dictum over the past several years. He wants to have a veto power, via the UN, over a new world order

Newsroom November 15 03:28

The world’s “strategic eyes” should have looked closer at Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s speech in September at the UN General Assembly.

He wants Muslim nations, preferably Turkey, to have a veto power, via the UN, over a new world order.

In his speech, Erdogan discredited the UN peacekeepers on Cyprus. He vowed to fight alongside Azerbaijan against Armenia in the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute. And, not surprisingly, he asked for global support for the Palestinian cause.
