Turkish army chief Gen. Yasar Buyukanit will hold a press conference in a southern province of Turkey at 4:00 p.m. (1300 GMT) on Monday, Dogan News Agency reported.
Buyukanit is expected to reply to journalists' questions about recent developments in the country in the conference that will take place in the southern province of Antalya.
The regional and global cooperation and solidarity for security and stability have a great importance, Buyukanit said during the opening session of the Second Meeting of Balkan Chiefs of General Staff in Antalya, adding this solidarity should be a real one, not remain only in words.
"Today, we are against different types of threats, risks and problems when compared with the pre-cold war and cold war eras," Turkey's top general said
Buyukanit, who defined threats and risks as asymmetric, multi-dimensional and unforeseen, said countries nowadays have to defend themselves against risks and threats stemming from terrorism, lack of energy, insufficient foodstuffs and global warming.
He said it was not so likely for countries to cope with those threats on their own, adding NATO and the EU were playing a significant role for regional welfare and security.
