Recep Tayyip Erdogan East Quotations

Several experts on the Middle East concur that the Middle East cannot be democratized

Therefore, the question is not whether such democratization is possible, but instead how to meet the yearning of the masses in the Middle East for democracy; in other words, how to achieve democratization in the Middle East

I am aware of the thesis that the United States has long since invested exclusively in stability and this has obviated democratic transformation in the Middle East.

There exists an unmistakable demand in the Middle East and in the wider Muslim world for democratization

I regard the endorsement of both the objective and a method - which can differ from one country to another- of democratization by the parties in the region as a basic requisite of democratization in the Middle East
