"Our region, once a competition arena for great powers a century ago, continues to be the backdrop for similar struggles in the present day," Erdogan said on Thursday during a commencement ceremony at the Naval Academy Command in Istanbul's Tuzla district. The president underlined that just two decades ago, Türkiye’s national defence and defence industry relied on domestic sources for only 20 percent of its components. That figure has now risen to 80 percent, demonstrating a remarkable shift toward self-sufficiency.
Since 2016, Ankara has launched a trio of successful anti-terror operations across its border in northern Syria to prevent the formation of a terror corridor and enable the peaceful settlement of residents: Euphrates Shield , Olive Branch , and Peace Spring .
