"If business and political interests were shaping Turkey's official policy before -- plus there were thousands of Turkish citizens over there at the beginning of the crisis -- now, there are no concerns about that," he told SETimes. "Muslim Turkey, under the NATO umbrella, can provide more support to the Western Alliance's operations in Libya in a non-combat role," he says.
„Ako su biznis i politički interesi ranije oblikovali tursku zvaničnu politiku -- a početkom krize su tamo bile i hiljade turskih državljana -- sada nema zabrinutosti oko toga“, rekao je on za SETimes. „Muslimanska Turska, pod okriljem NATO-a, može da pruži veću podršku operacijama zapadnog saveza u Libiji u neborbenoj ulozi“, kaže on.
