Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu on Saturday delivered a speech in a conference on "Turkey’s Policies for Engagement in the Contemporary World" in Istanbul, co-hosted by the Turkish Foreign Ministry and the British think-tank, Wilton Park.
"The time has come for a political change and transformation in the Middle East. We want security and freedom at the same time. Turkey will be in service in order to ensure that this difficult task of maintaining security and freedoms is achieved. We should desire for others what we desire for ourselves. In this sense, Turkey supports changes to end that in the transformation process in the Middle East," Davutoglu told the conference.
Davutoglu said ways to secure political change was as much important as the task itself.
"The method is also very important. Change should come without causing instability. We want change, one which would not give way to political instability but maintain public order," he said.
