Turkey to not step back from fighting terror: Davutoglu
2016-04-28
[AA.TR] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
will not step back from its fight against terrorism despite facing attacks, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said in Ankara Wednesday.

Addressing a presser at the airport before he flew for his official visit to Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates...
, Davutoglu wished the injured in Wednesday evening’s Bursa attack in northwestern Turkey a speedy recovery.

A suicide kaboom killed one person and injured 20 others at the entrance of a historic bazaar in Bursa.

"We will continue to take a principled stand against terrorism and bully boyz wherever and however it occurs," the prime minister said.

About the warnings issued by the U.S. for its citizens in Turkey, Davutoglu said that such alerts were, unfortunately, giving rise to psychological unrest.

"Currently, there are no countries in the world, which is not vigilant against terrorism... A person visiting Gay Paree, Brussels or Istanbul is not under less risk than a person visiting Bursa today," he said.

About Turkey’s new constitution, Davutoglu said a preliminary draft on core issues such as fundamental human rights
...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions...
and freedoms is prepared; however, no final text exists so far.

"We strive for a constitution which has references to our own values and contains both universal and national values at the same time. The essence of the constitution will be liberalism.

"Our main understanding from a constitution is being citizen and human based," he added.

About the presidential system of governance in Turkey, Davutoglu said the current goal is for a clear system, which will not lead to any authority confusion.
