Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Yerevan/Mediamax/. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan continues his
criticism of international institutions claiming they lack objectivity.
Speaking at the Presidential Awards Ceremony on December 3, Erdogan
said "even the Nobel is not awarded objectively", Turkish Hurriyet
writes.
"Do not hope for objective points of view in a world where
international institutions decide according to their own ideologies,
politics and beliefs. Is the Nobel awarded objectively? No. Does the
UN Security Council make objective decisions? No, never", said Erdogan.
The Turkish President added that Turkey cannot silently watch while
hegemons write the history of arts and science.
Earlier, Erdogan instructed Turkey's educational institutions to
highlight the contribution of Islam to global science and arts,
including the discovery of the American continent by Muslim sailors
300 years before Columbus.
In his speech on December 3, Erdogan also criticized the UN Security
Council for allowing only five major powers to effectively make
all decisions.
"The UN, which was established on the post-World War I international
system, is short of representing the whole world. The entire world's
destiny cannot be in the hands of five countries only", said Erdogan.
