Davudoglu: A geostrategic, geopolitics and geoeconomics culture is emerging in the Islamic world

We need much more peace and dialogue, said Foreign Minister Ali Davutoglu. Addressing the 36th session of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) in Damascus over the weekend, Davutoglu underlined the importance of mutual dialogue, communication and stability. Stating that a culture geo-strategy, geopolitics and geo-economics is emerging in the Islamic world, he added, "We need to draw a new vision in line with expectations of our times, traditions and values." Touching on the Palestinian issue, Davutoglu urged Israel to take serious steps towards the resolution of the Palestinian issue on the basis of a two-state solution. On the sideline of the meeting, Davutoglu held bilateral talks with his Iranian and Iraqi counterpart to discuss regional and the global issues. Syrian President Bashar Assad received Davutoglu and praised him for his shuttle diplomacy during Israel's attacks to Gaza earlier this year. Davutoglu will proceed to Baku today with his Azeri counterpart Mammadyarov. He will be received by Azeri President Ilham Aliyev during his visit to discuss the Nagorno-Karabakh issue between Azerbaijan and Armenia and energy issues.
