Babacan and Davutoglu on time 100 list

Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Ali Babacan and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu were included on the top 100 influential people in the world list which was released by the Time magazine yesterday. "They are the people who inspire us, entertain us, challenge us and change our world," the magazine said. Commenting on Babacan, Time said, "Turkey's foreign policy clout was made possible by its economic transformation." For Davutoglu, the magazine said, "The country's external outlook has been the design of scholar turned Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu. Turkey has been unequivocal in siding with the Arab peoples in their revolts against autocratic regimes. Known for a tireless work ethic, Davutoglu, 53, has embraced his nation's newfound position as a bridge between adversaries."
