The Blue Homeland is not a fairy tale, Turkish Energy and Natural Resources Minister Alparslan Bayraktar said, arguing that "it is the saga of Turkish shipping".
In his speech at the 8th Ordinary General Assembly of the AKP in Sivas, southeastern Turkey, Mr. Bayraktar said that “now Turkey has become a country that goes beyond its territory and looks for oil in Somalia.
"May 2025 be the year of new good news both in Somalia and Gabbar, other parts of our country and the Black Sea," he said.
As we pursue these dreams, as we turn these dreams into reality, Mr. Bayraktar added, "as you know, some call the Blue Homeland 'the fairy tale of the Blue Homeland'."
We, he noted, "call the Blue Homeland 'the epic of Turkish shipping'." It is not a fairy tale," adding that "God willing, we will continue to write epics in the Blue Homeland"
