The region and the world are going through one of the most critical periods since World War II, with one crisis following another before the previous one is resolved.

Axar.az reports that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan made the statement during a public address in the Edirne province.

“We are living through days when the sounds of missiles and bombs drown out the cries of children,” Erdogan said. “No one can predict what will happen tomorrow or where weapons will erupt.”

“Before the Russia-Ukraine war has ended, our region is now paying the heavy economic price of attacks on Iran,” Erdogan said.

The president added that, while problems in the Black Sea persist, "new plots" are being laid and "new games" are being played in the Eastern Mediterranean.

“Our only concern is the peace and security of 86 million people. Our only goal is to build the Century of Turkiye,” he added.
