1. “Resolution 2250 (2015) is proof of the crucial role of youth in peace and security. The new resolution to be adopted should provide further guidance. We must also use the potential of existing mechanisms, such as the Alliance of Civilizations. Spain and Turkey are trying to re-energize that initiative, which we need more than ever. We also need to create interaction among national, regional and global measures. Good practices and lessons learned in one part of the world can be employed globally. That is why we need to expand the United Nations capabilities to support Member States. We will continue to contribute to all the efforts aimed at empowering youth.”

2. “We also promote dialogue among young people from different backgrounds. All of those efforts complement our work towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. We, the decision makers and politicians, have important responsibilities. One of the reasons for the rise of extremism in Western Europe in particular is the divisive language used by some politicians. That approach divides people along ethnic and religious lines, and that is a very dangerous game. We must refrain from creating stereotypes. Instead, we must convey message of unity, positive messages. Radicalization and violent extremism are not limited to one particular religion, faith or community; they are our common challenge, and we need to face it together.”

3. “Xenophobia, anti-Islam currents, ethnic and religious discrimination and socioeconomic marginalization are the root causes of radicalization among youth. We must stop this. What we need is a holistic approach. In Turkey, half the population is under the age of3l. In addition, we host almost 1 million Syrian youth, and we have developed tailor-made Government structures and policies to address their needs. We encourage youth to fully participate in economic and social life in Turkey. We have lowered the age limits for parliamentary elections, and we make sure that they take part in decision-making processes. We promote role models, social reintegration and rehabilitation programmes. Education is also a key factor. We leave no one behind and provide equal opportunities for all.”

4. “It is an honour to address the Security Council on this special day, 23 April, when in 1920, the Turkish National Assembly met for the first time, in Ankara. The founder of our Republic, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, dedicated this day to children worldwide. Today, our hearts and minds are with children and youth who are oppressed, trafficked and smuggled around the globe. There are 1.8 billion young people in the world. That is the largest youth generation in history, and it is a key asset for our common future. Yet today, all around the world, extremist ideologies, radicalization and terrorism are targeting young people. Terrorist groups such as Da'esh, Al-Qaida, the Kurdistan Workers Party, the People's Protection Units and the Fethullahci Teror Orgiitii abuse and recruit women, children and youth.”

5. “Before concluding, I would like to emphasize once again Turkey's full support for Iraq in efforts to build a better political environment that is free of extremism, and thus to fight more effectively against terrorism. We act in close coordination with our allies and friends to that end. All of those efforts to create a stable Iraq can be more effective with increased international collaboration. We are ready to further deepen our engagement with our partners with the aim of bringing peace and stability to the region and in the fight against extremism and terrorism.”

6. “It is imperative to treat Syria and Iraq as a single theatre of action for the success of our strategy. Ignoring Syria in this struggle would not help bring about a lasting solution to the challenges we face today. The Syrian regime is the patron of extremism. Its policies based on sectarianism and ethnic divisions trigger further instability and threaten the wider region. As long as the regime remains in Damascus, stability can neither be achieved in Syria nor in the region. The only way of achieving stability and security is through a political solution based on the Geneva declaration. A genuine political transition in Syria is therefore a must.”

7. “We have been doing our best since the beginning of the crisis, and we appreciate the help provided by many countries present here. Turkey's ongoing humanitarian support has alleviated the suffering of thousands of Iraqis from various ethnic and religious backgrounds. We are also setting up three camps in northern Iraq, with a total capacity of 35,000 people. Furthermore, as of today, we are hosting 38,000 Yazidis who sought refuge in Turkey. Yesterday alone, we provided sanctuary to more than 10,000 - I emphasize that number - Syrian Kurds who had to run away from the ISIS advance in Kobane, Syria. Certainly, more has to be done. We call upon the relevant United Nations agencies, as well as experienced non-governmental organizations, to coordinate all those efforts. Let me also underline a very important factor in all those efforts.”

8. “Our engagement and support to that process should therefore be a long-term one. Sustained international support to Iraq in the security field should be another component of the strategy. That requires an organized and coordinated flow of military equipment and an effort to help build the defence infrastructure of Iraq. We shall guide and support Iraq towards a future where it will be able to defend itself. Restructuring the army and other security organizations on a national basis should be an indispensable part of those efforts. Neither the army nor other Sate structures should be an instrument of ethnic or sectarian groups. Unfortunately, that is something that extremists and terrorist groups have greatly exploited. The third point I should like to highlight is the need to redouble our humanitarian efforts.”

9. “However, if these meetings fail to make a difference in the daily lives of the Iraqi nation, we may risk losing our credibility. I can see that there is broad agreement on the need to devise and implement a comprehensive and integrated strategy that embraces political, security and humanitarian elements. In the political field, we have to ensure that every component of the nation is properly represented and has a meaningful role in the decision-making process. Iraq has made a promising start to that end wit the formation of the new Government under Prime Minister Al-Abadi, but they have a long and thorny road ahead. The challenges are real and complex. The new Iraqi Government needs to reverse the deteriorating security situation, overcome the long- lasting ethnic and sectarian divisions and embrace all segments of the Iraqi society.”

10. “Let me begin by expressing our appreciation to the United States and to you personally, Secretary Kerry, for organizing this important meeting on Iraq. I hope that our meeting today will add value to our previous discussions in Newport, Jeddah and Paris. Obviously, Iraq is facing the most severe crisis in its recent history. The ongoing conflict in Syria, together with misguided policies and practices of the former Government in Baghdad, has created a perfect environment for extremist and terrorist groups to carry out their despicable objectives. Therefore, our priorities should be to devise policies and plans of action to change this environment. We need engagement within Iraq, as well as international cooperation, to achieve that aim. That is why we have been convening so frequently.”
