The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has successfully completed the fourth of the Antalya Diplomasi Forum.
ADF was planned in 2019, but it could not be physically done physically due to COVİD19 epidemic in the first Forum 2020.
In 2023, he was postponed due to the earthquake of the 12th of February.

There are many analyzes about the three -day sessions that can be done about the notes I received and closed to the press (via the sides).
However, it is more accurate to leave this to diplomats and academics who provide service to political decisions.
For newspaper readers, ‘Summary Summary’ I think that an assessment becomes more efficient.
***
ADF gathered under the following headings by years:
2021: Innovative diplomacy.
2022: Restoring diplomacy.
2024: To highlight diplomacy in the period of crises.
2025: To embrace diplomacy in the world.
***
What the titles show is that the ADF focuses on the theme of ‘diplomacy’, unlike the World Economic Forum, Munich Security Conference, Doha Forum.
Diplomacy is not only a solution channel for problems.
It is a channel to develop dialogue and cooperation in order to ‘do not have problems’ and to ensure that it does not turn into conflict when the problem arises.
ADF focused on ‘diplomacy’ as a way of providing unconconciliation and confrontation before the ‘price’ solution or peace, instead of a solution or peace.

The emergence of ‘inability to lead’ and or ‘strong leadership’ in relatively stable regions such as digitalization, epidemics and conflicts of diplomacy, the ability to ‘leadership’ and or ‘strong leadership’ changes the application forms of diplomacy.
Türkiye, President Erdogan’s leadership, peaceful, peaceful, solution -oriented and ‘equal eye level dialogue’ understanding of the diplomacy carried out with a natural adaptation to the new era.
President Erdoğan’s ADF’s speech, “No more conflict, not compromise, separation, not alliance, blood, tears, pain and tension, not to see a region dominated, we want to live in such a world, such a world to leave such a world” emphasis on this ‘preventive’.
Erdogan’s words that have become brands such as “the world is greater than five” and “the world is enough for us”, this vision and identity as a ‘global example’ was engraved in the history of politics.

UN, NATO, OSCE, such as international law and order ‘cornerstones’ leave the solution to produce’ zangır swing ‘, the World Economic Forum, the Munich Security Conference, such as the Global Thought Platforms such as’ views and wishes can not go forward, ADF’ solution -generating diplomacy ‘and’ leadership ‘difference is highlighting the difference.
With Erdogan’s vision and direct leadership, the first thing that comes to mind is Libya, Azerbaijan, Syria, Ethiopia, Somalia and Sudan, ‘Delivery/Protection of Legitimate Rights, Conflict and Peace’ initiatives have either been positive or concluded today.
In addition, the initiatives in the Balkans, West Africa, which seem to have less known or have not been obtained, are very well processed on the platforms where Türkiye is evaluated on a global scale.
Especially in 2022, the meeting of Russian and Ukraine Foreign Ministers at the ADF and the reconciliation floor provided in Istanbul, then referring to Europe-USA disrupting this ground, for example, is often referred to for example.
Under the leadership of Türkiye, 52 countries and the Arab Union and the OIC’nin signed by exhibiting unity “Israel to stop the sale of weapons and ammunition” call …

ADF, President Erdogan’s “increase in foreign policy friends in the framework of the vision of reducing hostility” has put forward the ‘mediator and peace -making leader’ identity is receiving.
This vision and identity also brings both Erdoğan and Türkiye to a original and different position in front of its contemporaries’.
In this context, it is necessary to evaluate the comments on the “lack of strong participation in the ADF from Europe and the United States”.
Because, if the reasons such as “not to strengthen the hand of Erdogan and Türkiye”, “ADF is the anti -Western platform”, this is proof that this’ West is behind the age and Türkiye “.
Unfortunately, it is probably true.
Because the roles he takes in the region of Türkiye and on a global scale, the steps he has taken are evaluated in the Western media and politics.
Türkiye’s new generation diplomacy is still considered as ‘search for influence’!
They evaluate Türkiye’s steps that require power to use, their initiatives as ‘military expansion’, and publish paintings titled “Türkiye’s military base in the world”.
They do not understand that Türkiye’s diplomacy builds ‘mutual gain and good relationship’, not colonial and addiction, and the consequences of military steps that finish wars, not the producing civil war.
(According to the estimates in the open sources, Türkiye still has military presence in 15 countries and regions. In the same sources, Turkey is in the list of the most powerful armies in the world in terms of technical capacity, it seems to have risen from 8-9 ranks in the last 5 years.
***
This is the point where Türkiye is ‘failed’:
He could not awaken even though he had warned ‘strategic blindness’ against the West!
‘Sleeping fans’ may not be desired anyway! ..
Besides, ADF is a ‘not to be shown’, not ‘a solution sought, produced’ platform …
Logo: From the Lycian Union Assembly
– The stage and seating order in the form of speech bubbles in the logo of ADF was designed inspired by the ‘Lycian Union Assembly in the ancient city of Patara, also known as’ the first democratic assembly of the world’.
– The foundations of the Antalya Diplomasi Forum was laid in 2019 by Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu and President Erdoğan thanked him in his speech.
– Hotels in Antalya Belek Tourism Region hosted guests well. Especially despite the intensive participation in Nest Congress Center, there was no defect in the service.
Ankara -based diplomacy ecosystem
Adf 2025, 21 states and government presidents from 155 countries, 64 ministers, nearly 450 senior representatives, 950 journalists, including 6 thousand people attended. Forums, panels, sessions and bilateral meetings were held by 950 journalists from nearly 50 countries.
In particular, the strong participation of the members of the Turkish States Organization of the Turkish States, the TRNC and the representatives of the Western Thrace Turkish minority was also meaningful.
Likewise, it is necessary to note that Friday before the opening is allocated only to Palestinian meetings.
I heard about the four definitions in the evaluations about the ADF:
It is not only an actor in Türkiye’s diplomacy scene, but also the vision of being a playmaker. An effective global platform. Türkiye, the key country to solve problems. Türkiye is building a ‘diplomacy ecosystem’ based in Ankara.
