ANKARA (AA) – Turkey is all set to reach new heights in 2020 by protecting its rights, especially in the Eastern Mediterranean, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Thursday.
“Through strengthening production, export and employment rate and protecting our rights on the international front, especially in the Mediterranean region, we are opening doors of a new rising period,” Erdogan said at the Annual Evaluation Meeting for 2019 at Bestepe National Congress and Culture Center in Ankara.
Erdogan stressed that this year Turkey will demonstrate its historic achievements for its freedom and future regardless of the circumstances.
Underlining that the attacks on Turkey have unprecedentedly increased in recent years, he said, Turkey will continue to frustrate those who expected Turkey to surrender in 2019.
He added that Turkey achieved 1,161 projects out of 1,451 in its 2019 action plan.
