“This senseless war must end. Before further destruction unfolds, before deeper enmities take root, before the global economy suffers irreversible damage. The channels of dialogue must be open, and a result-oriented negotiation process must commence swiftly,” Fidan further added
He also warned that while pursuing peace, Türkiye’s leadership must not let Netanyahu’s extreme stance derail diplomacy, highlighting that “this engineered chaos” aims to keep the regional nations “weak, divided, and vulnerable.”
Fidan said this year’s theme, “Disruption in the International System: Crises, Narratives, and Search for Order,” is more relevant than ever, adding: “We are not simply living through a period of instability, we are living through a systemic rupture.”
He added that this reflects a deeper disruption, in which the international system loses its moral compass, coherence, and legitimacy, leaving crises unchecked and raising the defining question: Does the system still hold authority and credibility?
Fidan said that those who “comfortably benefited from the unjust system are facing a reality as the crises finally touch their own shores.” He emphasised that “these are not academic debates.”
He said that common sense is needed most during the darkest hours and that Türkiye “will continue to mobilise every diplomatic instrument” to address crises.
The minister said that “in today’s world, the battlefield is not only physical, it is also informational,” explaining that narratives are “weaponised to shape perception, frame reality, and too often obscure the truth itself,” a phenomenon evident in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
