Erdogan Declares Turkey Entering New Era of Agility, Proactivity
“At the same time, as was the case last night, we are taking the necessary preventive measures against any threats that violate our airspace,” Erdogan said during an iftar dinner in Istanbul, emphasizing that “keeping our country away from this fire pit is our top priority.”
His comments came after a ballistic munition launched from Iran entered Turkish airspace but was reportedly “neutralized by NATO air and missile defense assets deployed in the Eastern Mediterranean,” according to the country’s Defense Ministry.
Erdogan also called on citizens to remain vigilant amid growing sectarian and ethnic tensions linked to the broader regional conflict involving Iran.
The president stressed that Türkiye is proceeding with “great caution in the face of plots, traps, provocations aimed at dragging our country into war.”
“As long as we stand firmly united, we can break the unwelcome hands reaching out to our independence and future,” he added, underscoring the importance of national unity in navigating these challenges.
