Honorary Doctorate for Hakan Fidan in Moscow Highlights Turkey-Russia Relations
The Moscow State Institute of International Relations awarded an honorary doctorate to Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan. Fidan described the award as a symbol of respect for the deep-rooted relations and mutual understanding between Turkey and Russia.
The Moscow State Institute of International Relations awarded an honorary doctorate to Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan. The award was presented to Fidan by the university rector Anatoli Torkunov during the ceremony.
The honorary title was conferred during Fidan's visit to Russia at one of the country's leading higher education institutions. The institute is renowned for training experts in diplomacy and international relations.
Fidan: This Award Reflects Respect for Bilateral Relations
In his speech at the ceremony, Fidan thanked the institute for the honorary title. He noted that the institute has been educating diplomats, academics, and statesmen for over 80 years, including Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov among its alumni.
Fidan expressed that he views this award primarily as a sign of respect for the longstanding relations between Turkey and Russia and the mutual understanding between their peoples.
He emphasized that the relations between the two countries have been shaped by history, endured crises, and continue today through high-level dialogue and cooperation. Fidan also highlighted the growing importance of this relationship amid increasing global uncertainty.
"Multipolar Order" and Regional Pressures
Fidan pointed out that a multipolar world order is emerging, and the transition between the old and new systems carries significant risks. He also drew attention to developments exerting pressure on regional countries.
He stated that the conflict involving the US and Israel on one side and Iran on the other has challenged many countries in the region in various ways. The agreement reached between Washington and Tehran has provided some relief, he added.
Fidan explained that Turkey has been actively working with regional countries to achieve this outcome and will continue to support the implementation of agreements aimed at reducing tensions.
