The analysis of the Antalya Diplomatic Forum (ADF) written in the Zeit newspaper states that the forum shows the change in the current global balance of power.
The article drew attention to Türkiye's flexible approach to diplomacy, which can allow for simultaneous contact with different actors, saying: “President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan talks to everyone: Ukrainians and Russians, Armenians and Azerbaijanis, Iranians and Americans. This is a policy that swings back and forth like a pendulum.” The statement has been attached.
The analysis emphasized that Türkiye has built up a finely developed network of relationships across half the world in recent years and is positioning itself more and more successfully as a mediator in conflicts and a helpful actor in times of need.
In this context, it was noted that the presence of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at the forum was a sign of Turkey's open diplomatic attitude towards all parties.
The analysis pointed to diplomacy's understanding that “decisions are made by those who are in the room,” noting that the Antalya summit once again highlighted this fact.
The analysis noted that at the opening of the forum, Erdoğan referred to Türkiye as “the key to peace” and described the organization as “a platform of hope for the future.”
On the other hand, there was criticism that Europe, especially Germany, could not adapt quickly enough to the changing world order.
It was pointed out that regional actors had become more important after the US had gradually reduced its global role, and it was questionable how the European Union would position itself in this new order.
“While the world discussed the future in Antalya, Germany remained at the door.”
The evaluation noted that the EU played only a limited role in the talks in Antalya and criticized the lack of high-level participation from key European countries.
The assessment noted that through the forum, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan demonstrated his broad international network of relationships, while Germany remained outside this network.
The analysis also included the opinion of Hesse's Minister for International Relations, Manfred Pentz, who attended the summit, that it would be “strategically wise” for senior German politicians to take part in the forum, and noted that Germany's absence from a platform where the future of the world is being discussed was notable.
The analysis states: “While the world was discussing the future in Antalya, Germany was at the door.” evaluation was carried out.
