Becoming more active in the world inevitably means attracting more criticism, he added. "As Turkey becomes genuinely powerful and more prosperous in its own right, it becomes a global actor, pursuing its own interests, and it becomes as hypocritical as everyone else."
Kada postajete aktivniji u svetu, to neizbežno znači i više kritika, dodao je on. „Dok Turska postaje zaista moćna i sve prosperitetnija, svojim zaslugama, ona postaje i globalni akter koji teži sopstvenim interesima i postaje licemerna kao svi ostali".
