Yerevan/Mediamax/. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan continues his criticism of international institutions claiming they lack objectivity.

Speaking at the Presidential Awards Ceremony on December 3, Erdogan said “even the Nobel is not awarded objectively”, Turkish Hurriyet writes.

 

“Do not hope for objective points of view in a world where international institutions decide according to their own ideologies, politics and beliefs. Is the Nobel awarded objectively? No. Does the UN Security Council make objective decisions? No, never”, said Erdogan.

 

The Turkish President added that Turkey cannot silently watch while hegemons write the history of arts and science.

 

Earlier, Erdogan instructed Turkey’s educational institutions to highlight the contribution of Islam to global science and arts, including the discovery of the American continent by Muslim sailors 300 years before Columbus.

 

In his speech on December 3, Erdogan also criticized the UN Security Council for allowing only five major powers to effectively make all decisions.

 

“The UN, which was established on the post-World War I international system, is short of representing the whole world. The entire world's destiny cannot be in the hands of five countries only”, said Erdogan.
