Shafaq News/ Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Monday that the Turkish-Iraqi development road project provides an opportunity to build a new world.
This came in a speech delivered by the Turkish President at the thirteenth annual Concordia Summit, in New York City, which he is visiting to participate in the meetings of the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly.
The Turkish President confirmed that his country sensed a great determination from the Gulf countries to implement the Turkish-Iraqi development road project, adding: “We are also determined (to implement the project).”
He added: “We will have the opportunity (through the Turkish-Iraqi development path) to build a new world through this step that we intend to take.”
The “Development Road” project, which was announced by Iraqi Prime Minister Muhammad Shia al-Sudani late last May, includes the land and railway road extending from Iraq to Turkey and its ports.
On the level of Turkish internal affairs, Erdogan stressed the possibility of success in enacting a new constitution for the country, “if we find a positive response from the parties in Parliament. This is a common issue and we must solve it together.”
