Turkish PM calls for establishing Turkish-speaking states community

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan called on Monday for the establishment of a Turkish- speaking states community, semi-official Anatolia news agency reported. "We should establish 'Turkish-speaking States Community' and strengthen our solidarity in international platforms," Erdogan said at the 10th Turkic Societies Friendship, Brotherhood and Cooperation Congress held in Mediterranean city of Antalya.

"We should work jointly in issues like Cyprus. We should also strengthen cooperation between local administrations and non- governmental organizations in Turkic world," he added."We should know that we have only two alternatives: We will either be the subject or the object of the world politics," Erdogan underlined.
