Erdogan's on Turkey's foreign policy

Prime Minister Erdogan gives his take on Turkey's foreign policy.

Erdogan on shifting alliances

Fareed Zakaria: The question, though, that many people have is, are you taking Turkey down a different path than it's been on since the time of Ataturk? Are you taking it on a foreign policy that will be not pro-Western anymore, that does not see its historical destiny with the West, that is more Islamic, that is more populist? When you go to Cairo now, you have become a rock star. There are big photographs and posters of you because of your embrace of the Palestinian position. Is this a new populist Islamist Turkish foreign policy?
Recep Tayyip Erdogan: Mr. Zakaria, I'm not a rock star, I'm a politician. But I can say very clearly that, look, everything that the Western world does is not necessarily right. We work on adopting the science of the West. We work on adopting whatever has been developed and whatever is beautiful in the West. But let's not forget, there are really beautiful things in the East, as well. Do not leave the Eastern parts of the world aside.
We are always running after science, after intellect. We seek out knowledge from whichever part of the world that is most advanced. Then we extract and adopt it.
