Presidency's Director of Communications Fahrettin Altun penned an article for the Yeni Şafak Literary Supplement on President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's book "'A Fairer World is Possible". In his article, Altun wrote, "A Fairer World is Possible' is a call for mercy to all humanity. Again, in the words of our President,' We must be the agents of grace, the voice of conscience, in a time when there is no compassion.' This book is a product of that responsibility."
In a post he shared on his social media account regarding the book, Director of Communications Altun included the article he wrote for the Yeni Şafak Literary Supplement.
Stating in his article that a world that lost its mercy would not solve any of humanity's problems; on the contrary, it would exacerbate and deepen suffering, Altun said, "If we do not advocate the right, truth and justice, we will be bystanders as oppression prevails around the world."
Expressing that the world is shrinking by the day and that there are tragedies in almost every geography that should concern everyone with a soul and conscience, Altun continued as follows:
"Local solutions only save the day. Rather than a structure in which the right is strong, international organizations have evolved a structure in which the strong is regarded as right, and they usurp the rights of the oppressed. And in such circumstances, the book 'A Fairer World is Possible', personally authored by our President, Mr Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, echoes as a call to all generations and ages. This book is a manifesto that invites all individuals, societies, states and international mechanisms to fulfil their historical responsibilities to seek solutions to local and global crises."
"It brings out a concrete reform proposal"
Stating that President Erdoğan explained in his book that no one could remain ignorant of another's problems in a globalizing world and emphasised that international organisations adopting a hypocritical attitude in matters concerning the future of the world, lost their legitimacy, Altun noted the following in his article:
"As our President stated, 'The world can no longer tolerate a few countries attempting to blame Muslims and other oppressed communities for their mistakes and depression.' In order to ensure global peace, it is essential to establish a fair international system that represents the world's multiculturalism and multipolarity. 'A Fairer World is Possible' provides a concrete reform proposal for establishing this system. In this book, our President analyses fundamental issues that affect all of humanity today, including climate, enmity toward Muslims, refugees, and international terrorism, and offers proposals to address them. As stated concisely in the book, 'Pain has no colour.' No one is secure in a world where terrorism and violence are so prevalent, including the groups that use them to destabilize."
Expressing that the global system itself has taken on the role of causing issues, let alone being a part of the solution, Altun stated that the dominant powers, who aspired to be the representative and invincible guardian of universal moral values for many years, are incapable of defending these values, even in words.
Presidency's Director of Communications Altun noted the following in his article:
"The current situation demonstrates that global governance is in a state of collapse that cannot be resolved through traditional methods. The fate of the mechanisms designed to establish world peace has been handed over to a certain number of countries; it has become a bystander in wars and conflicts. As emphasised in this book, our President continues to say at every opportunity, 'The world is bigger than five until a system that protects the oppressed, not the oppressor, is established'. A Fairer World is Possible is a call for mercy to all humanity. As our President also states, we must be the agents of grace, the voice of conscience, in a time when there is no compassion.' This book is a product of that responsibility."
