Abstract
I would like to thank you for inviting me to talk this evening. Turkey is a nation
that has been at the center of the World for much of the past 2,000 years, and now it is
again at the crossroads of world affairs. It is a dynamic and modern nation that is
playing a leading role in the integration of Muslim countries into the world community.
Such countries will not be copies of Western countries or, for that matter, each other.
There is a creative element at play that ideally will engender social and cultural
diversity while providing economic advancement.
