UN unable to solve problems, prevent conflicts: Turkey’s foreign minister


The UN is unble to solve problems, take the lead on any issue and prevent conflicts, Turkey’s foreign minister said Friday.

Mevlut Cavusoglu said UN structures such as the Security Council, veto rights and voting should be changed.

“These need to change, if not, the UN will slowly disappear like the League of Nations,” he said at a tourism event in western Aydin province.

Cavusoglu said that a lot has changed in the past few decades and international institutions need to keep up with the change.

“The world has changed. Turkey also has changed. We cannot act like today’s Turkey is and 60 years ago Turkey is the same,” he said.

Referring to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s recently published book, Cavusoglu said that “A fairer world is possible.”
