Shadowing-Übung: One on One with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan - Englisch Sprechen Lernen mit Video

1
In 2023, Turgia celebrated the centenary of the founding of the Republic.
2
In a sign of its ambitions to take the country forward, Ankara has labeled the coming 100 years the century of Turgia.
3
It applies to aspirations and projects at home and abroad.
4
In terms of how Turgia interacts with the outside world, the country's place as a major geopolitical actor is now well established.
5
So how far and how much can Ankara influence a fairer, more just and inclusive global order?
6
I'm Adnan Nawaz.
7
In this edition of TRT World's One on One, we speak with His Excellency Foreign Minister Haqqan Fidan.
8
Your Excellency Haqqan Fidan, welcome to One on One.
9
It's a great pleasure to have you on the programme.
10
I think we have to start with Gaza.
11
Turkey has played a critical, a very important role in getting the ceasefire plan in place.
12
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said just recently
13
that in a multilateral meeting with President Trump
14
that the U .S president appreciated the Turkish analysis of what's happening in the enclave very much.
15
But are you frustrated with the lack of progress towards phase two of the deal?
16
That's supposed to include the International Stabilization Force, the establishment of a Board of Peace that will overlook governance of Gaza, and of course also the disarmament of hamas
17
but we haven't reached there yet should we already be there
18
by now well first of all thank you for hosting me this ceasefire is very much precious for us
19
because we've seen the horror
20
the human tragedy the genocide that took place in gaza over the last two years and therefore Therefore,
21
we worked so hard to reach a ceasefire, and as President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan mentioned, in New York with President Trump last September,
22
I think that was a turning point to the road to ceasefire, and it helped a lot.
23
And President Trump, I think, came to realize that this is very serious.
24
United States had to do something together with the regional countries.
25
Now we have the ceasefire, but there are constant violations of ceasefire.
26
This is, as you described, is very much frustrating for us.
27
And since the declaration of the ceasefire, 400, almost 400 Palestinians have been killed.
28
And still the Palestinians are continuing to honoring the ceasefire
29
and the level of humanitarian assistance that we would like to see is never enough
30
because the peace plan that agreed by the sides made it very clear certain conditions
31
and certain parameters regarding the protection of the lives and humanitarian assistance.
32
But in spite of all these frustrations and big challenges,
33
we as Muslim countries and international community, we want to see the ceasefire,
34
should proceed to the second phase and there are now some talks away from the public eyes.
35
And the discussions are mostly around the combination of the Peace Board
36
and International Civilization Force and the daily execution of the work, the executive community.
37
And there are discussions here and there.
38
I think over the next couple of weeks,
39
we will see some preliminary clear results of those discussions.
40
As Turkey, we've been closely following those discussions.
41
We are trying to make our own contributions, and we are also monitoring the ceasefire process in the field.
42
And whatever violations and obstacles,
43
roadblocks that we see, we communicate with the relevant partners and we encourage them to take the necessary actions.
44
Otherwise, as I said, we can go back to the horror days, the butchering of the people, the mass murdering, the genocide.
45
Not only this time maybe in Gaza, but it is infectious.
46
We might see the same thing in West Bank too.
47
It's quite possible that the International Stabilization Force could be the pillar of
48
that second phase to provide security for Palestinians living in Gaza and Turkey has indicated it's ready to participate
49
and to play its part.
50
But Gideon Saad, the Israeli foreign minister, calls Turkey a hostile force.
51
He says that the words that come out of Ankara are unfair to Israel,
52
and it insists it will not allow Turkish forces to be in Gaza.
53
But why should Israel make that decision?
54
If you are ready and other countries are not as ready, why should you, as Turkey, not take the lead?
55
Why should Israel decide?
56
Well, that's a very good question.
57
You know, Turkey has been the voice of the human conscience,
58
the international conscience, in the face of the Israeli atrocities in Palestine, killing 70 ,000 women and children.
59
And it's something that we have to object, we have to apprise, and we have to outcry
60
and to care diplomatically and has been wasting this voice right from the start
61
and the Israel has never been used to see
62
that level of criticism and condemnation coming from the international community
63
because they've been given by international community as a blanket check to do whatever they would like to do,
64
to do whatever they think that it is necessary for their security, even it means a mass murdering.
65
And this has been the case for over decades, and Israel has been exempted from the international system.
66
And I think this era is over now.
67
Turkey together with its partners have played a very crucial role in coming to this conclusion.
68
That's That's why Israel is very much objecting to Turkey's participation.
69
But Israel is not the only relevant actor here.
70
There are other relevant actors here.
71
So we are talking to them.
72
And as you said, we, right from the beginning, we have stated very clearly,
73
President Erdogan, that we are ready to do whatever is necessary to contribute to the peace process,
74
whether humanitarian side, whether military side, security side or other technical assistance,
75
infrastructure, health, those areas that we've been working very hard.
76
In Turkey we have a huge team
77
and interdepartmental teams that they are working on specific areas on how to deliver certain assistance to Gaza.
78
This is a direct instruction from President Erdogan, and my ministry is coordinating all these efforts.
79
But as I said, we're ready to participate in ISF.
80
The Israelis are objecting openly, and we are talking to other partners as well.
81
But for us, to be honest, to see what is necessary in the field, you know, whoever is doing this,
82
it's a secondary question for us.
83
If somebody else can come and do the same thing, you know, in favor of humanity and humanitarian values in Gaza,
84
we are fine by that.
85
But if our assistance is very much needed, we are also ready to contribute.
86
Would that analysis and opinion also count for Turkey's involvement in helping Syria to recover?
87
And I'm specifically here again talking about security.
88
Because apart from the fact that the majority of Syrian people live in poverty,
89
the country is celebrating just about a few days ago the anniversary of the fall of the regime of Bashar al -Assad.
90
But in terms of the security issues, there could well be a danger presented by Daesh sleeper cells,
91
but also the thousands of Daesh terrorists who are held in prisons in northern Syria.
92
And you have, as the foreign ministry, been speaking with other regional partners about possibly taking joint action against that Daesh threat.
93
The Americans are already conducting a sweep.
94
Some of their soldiers were killed by a Daesh sympathizer a few days ago.
95
How big a threat is that?
96
Well, certainly Daesh is a big threat and we can deal with that.
97
We as regional countries, as Turkey and Syria together even, as long as there is a good cooperation mechanism in place,
98
I think we can address this issue effectively.
99
Because as you know, Turkey has been a very experienced country in the region in counter -terrorism.
100
We've been fighting against PKK terrorism and other sorts of terrorism for the last 40 years.
101
So we have developed extensive skills and capabilities in dealing with this threat.
102
So when it comes to Daesh, unfortunately before last year, because of the threat environment in Syria,
103
Daesh and other terrorist organizations were able to find away for themselves because of the cracks within the system.
104
Now the civil war is over.
105
The people are ruling Damascus.
106
And there is a healthy cooperation right now.
107
And as long as, as I said, there's a cooperation mechanism in place, we can deal with that.
108
So during the first months of the revolution, the early 2025, we came together with other regional countries.
109
We said, look, now Syria is on the way to recovery.
110
They have deep wounds and they need time to heal themselves
111
and they need international and regional support to go in this direction.
112
But in the meantime, we don't want to see any other hostile elements taking advantage of this process.
113
So that's why we thought that the terrorism is a biggest threat at that time, so we need to step in.
114
So that cooperation, you know, was very much useful in terms of creating,
115
you know, a separate awareness in the minds of our Syrian partners because they are very well aware of the Daesh threat.
116
But how the international community is fighting against Daesh and what kind of mechanisms they have.
117
And now they are state actor, as a state actor, how should they behave in dealing with this problem together with other regional partners.
118
That was something else for them.
119
But it was good to get them introduced to this area.
120
And they are very capable and they are very keen to address this issue.
121
Now as you know, they've been part of the international coalition against ISIS.
122
ISIS, and now they signed the paperwork in Washington, D .C., just last month.
123
That was a good, I think, initiative.
124
So they made it very clear that they are committed to fighting against Daesh and together with other countries.
125
So our military experts, the intelligence experts, together with other regional countries and the Americans and everybody else,
126
now they are advancing the agenda in fighting against ISIS.
127
We should never allow any terrorist element to derail the Syrian people and state on its way to recovery.
128
Are you disappointed at the slow pace of the integration within the broader Syrian framework of the SDF elements
129
that are in the north of the country?
130
That may be something that is a specific threat to Turkey.
131
Of course, this border issue has been there for a long time, but over the past few years, the security in Turkey has been so strengthened.
132
But could that be in danger if the SDF is not reintegrated into the new Syria?
133
Well, certainly, we are not happy with the speed of the process.
134
We and the Syrians and some other partners, I don't want to name them, they think collectively that the SDF is trying to buy more time.
135
I think they are hoping to see some other opportunities for themselves, maybe in the form of some other regional crisis,
136
maybe because of the Israelis expansionist policies towards Syria and other places.
137
So I think the good thing is our American partners, actually, they are very well aware of the fact that this process should be completed,
138
because this is very much essential to the unity of the country.
139
And so, as you know, every different element of Syrian opposition,
140
the armed groups came under the Syrian Minister of Defense now,
141
except for SDF, because they were not member of opposition.
142
In the former opposition structure there were different groups that were not always under one command and control.
143
And now they accepted to come under the command and control of the Ministry of Defense.
144
This is very much essential for the national unity
145
because you cannot have two or three different armored structures answering to different authorities in one state.
146
If you have this, you cannot mention about unity and sovereignty.
147
So it is essential, and everybody understands this.
148
But we just hope that things go through dialogue, negotiations, and peacefully.
149
We don't want to see any need to resorting to military means again.
150
But STF should understand the patience of the relevant actors are running out.
151
They should come to a place where their commitment to agreement of 10th of March should be honored.
152
Everybody is expecting from them to honor that agreement without any delay and without any twisting,
153
because we don't want to see a deviation from this agreement.
154
At the end of the day, our Syrian partners in Damascus,
155
they also see this is a very much essential step for their national unity.
156
I am optimistic in a sense.
157
I am optimistic in a sense.
158
Hopefully if we use the right tactics and techniques and cooperation forms, I think we will get that.
159
I want to turn to the Russia -Ukraine war because Turkey is in an almost unique position.
160
The world is so divided about what's happening
161
that Ankara seems to be one of the few actors that can actually speak freely and fairly with both sides.
162
And of course, Ankara has brought the two sides together on multiple occasions.
163
Right now, in terms of searching for peace, we seem to have reached a point where Ukraine might be
164
ready to accept these NATO -like Article 5 security guarantees coming from Washington,
165
although it's slightly strange to hear an American representative say those guarantees won't be on the table forever, as if they're trying to pressure Volodymyr Zelensky a bit excessively.
166
His is an extremely difficult position.
167
You said a few days ago that possibly a referendum in Ukraine, because it's quite clear according to the president of Ukraine, that the concession of territory is his biggest issue,
168
that he doesn't know how to deal with this because it's a constitutional issue and he is an individual.
169
Would it be right for his people to decide whether they should give up territory?
170
You seem to be thinking that that could be some kind of solution towards a lasting peace.
171
Well, certainly we would welcome any ceasefire, any peace coming out of this war because it's been going on for the last four years.
172
And just like in the war in Gaza, it is causing huge destruction and human life losses.
173
I think in the middle of Europe in the 21st century,
174
witnessing such a conventional war was something that I think the people in Europe would never imagine in their lifetime.
175
They think that these scenes belong to the Second World War time frame.
176
But here we are.
177
The reality is in the middle of Europe in the year 2025, huge conventional warfare is taking place and claiming thousands of lives
178
and causing huge destruction in big cities and turning the cities a place in rubble, unrecognizable.
179
And it is also threatening the regional countries and the regional escalation of the war, especially towards the Black Sea,
180
is now threatening Turkey and other littoral countries as well.
181
So, therefore, right from the beginning,
182
Turkey has been very much busy and working very hard to really contribute,
183
if it is possible, for ceasefire.
184
So we've had numerous attempts, together with other partners sometimes just ourselves
185
and all of them almost known by the public
186
but I think now especially for the last few weeks the talks have intensified
187
and we are happy to see the level of discussions
188
and the seriousness by the parties Europeans are now engaging the Americans are leading the mediation
189
and we should really give a special credit to President Trump
190
and his team for what they are doing in mediation of this war.
191
I mean, this is something again in the case of Gaza can only be done by the engagement of the United States.
192
Now, Mr. Trump and his team, we are also talking to them and to Russians and to Ukrainians, to Europeans as well.
193
They are very close to reach a deal now at the moment.
194
This is that much I can only say.
195
The likely agreed tax will be presented to the Ukrainian public.
196
It is their own internal dynamic.
197
And you mentioned about referendum or other types of commitment or agreement to the peace plan.
198
But once they reach...
199
an agreement on the paper i am sure they will find a way of presenting to the public because
200
what is important also in addition to will of president zelinski
201
and the ukrainian public and the position of the europeans and now europeans seem to have united
202
around the ceasefire cause this is very much important the european leaders that we are talking to are,
203
they seem to be very much genuine and sincere about the ceasefire, but of course, provided that they have their own security concerns.
204
The Ukrainians have their own security concerns.
205
That's why they ask security guarantees and naturally Russians have their own security concerns
206
and they ask for additional guarantees so combining all these demands
207
and bringing about the format and a plan
208
that is agreeable by all parties is a very challenging job
209
i think we are very close to reaching a deal now you mentioned the black sea a few years ago
210
when ankara brought the parties together antonio guterres you
211
and secretary general was here the black sea grain deal was approved i don't know
212
if you heard the statistic it's absolutely stunning one shipment of
213
ukrainian grain makes 40 million loaves of bread that's 40 million
214
hungry families in a country that's desperate for food they could stay alive
215
but now the insecurity seems to have come back to the black sea there was a drone
216
that the turkish air force shot down
217
that they tracked coming from the black sea area ships have been hit in the black sea commercial shipping
218
this is a problem
219
but your government has been calling for possibly some kind of
220
guarantees for energy infrastructure with the russians have been attacking in ukraine regularly
221
and for port facilities is there any news about
222
that possible kind of compromise before a full ceasefire well um as you know the
223
while the war was going on a couple years back we managed to break a deal between the sides, which was called the grain deal.
224
It was allowing all the ships in the Mediterranean to move freely.
225
It was basically about maritime security.
226
And it helped deliver a huge amount of 30 million tons of,
227
to be precise, grain to be delivered to the world markets, particularly to Africa.
228
And President Erdogan, because of humanitarian reasons, was very much sensitive about this deal, the grain deal.
229
Still he talks about this, the importance of this, because your war here is also affecting the life of people in Africa,
230
in Latin America, even in Europe, in Central Asia.
231
Now maritime security, therefore, is very much important both russia
232
and ukraine they are big producers of the grain apart from the energy
233
that they are selling to the rest of the world
234
but the grain is a primary product
235
that they are providing to the rest of the world
236
so that's why we put special emphasis on advancing the agenda
237
on to reaching maritime security all the time what's happening now
238
is since we are engaged all the relevant actors in a whole peace plan, a whole package peace plan,
239
and now they don't discuss much about the limited ceasefire agreements.
240
When we say limited, it's limited to energy infrastructure and the maritime security.
241
President Erdogan in his discussions and myself when we discussed with our counterparts,
242
we We say, look, if we cannot reach a complete ceasefire and peace plan, please let's get this limited agreement done.
243
But as I described earlier,
244
since there is a big discussion that's taking place between the parties mediated by the Americans about their complete plan,
245
I think this is a secondary issue now.
246
And yet we've been affected badly.
247
Now, in recent weeks the ships have been targeted by both sides
248
and now drones are flying not only respective warring parties but into our territory.
249
So this is causing further problems for littoral countries as well.
250
We've seen the same thing in Romania, in Bulgaria again, and it all started a couple of years back with the drifting of the mines through the Black Sea
251
and coming through the Bosphorus at one point
252
It became so dangerous that it would block the entire ship traffic and the straits.
253
So those are the problems also we are dealing with,
254
with our military and together with cooperation with other littoral countries, particularly Romania and Bulgaria.
255
But the shortest way to put an end to all these problems is to reach a ceasefire.
256
This is why we are giving full support to this.
257
I hope that they reach it.
258
Otherwise, the escalation that we've been warning right from the beginning is gradually taking place.
259
The regional escalation is very much dangerous and it may not stay here.
260
It might escalate into different parts of Europe as well.
261
It won't have escaped anybody's attention that we are talking about conflict.
262
So much of your work seems to be about conflict resolution.
263
So let me ask you a more classic diplomatic question where the words become more important than possibly resolving actual fighting.
264
The Greek Cypriots will soon take over the EU presidency.
265
Do you see that as a challenge or an opportunity?
266
It can be an opportunity for us too because, you know, we've known them for a long time.
267
In every international platform, they are blocking us.
268
Wherever they have a chance, they block us.
269
But in the face of current threats that Europe is facing,
270
I think the cooperation and relations between European Union and Turkey have become much more relevant than ever and important than ever.
271
So the Greek Cypriot Entity is a major obstacle between EU and Turkey and unfortunately the
272
system of the inner working of EU is allowing such an action of Greek Cypriots.
273
We don't have to stick to the old mentality.
274
We can be more creative because the time flows and the generations,
275
the next generations, they need to see a solution from us.
276
We inherited this problem, but we don't want to leave this problem for the next generations.
277
There are realities in the island.
278
The two -state solution right now,
279
everybody knows, is the only realistic solution on the island and everybody knows this.
280
We as Turkey took a positive side during the Annan plan and the Trans -Montana period.
281
The Turkish Cypriots, they voted in favor of the UN plan,
282
but the Greek Cypriots rejected it and they will never say yes an equal power sharing,
283
wealth sharing, authority sharing agreement for Cyprus.
284
They know this, we know this, Europeans know this, this is a reality.
285
So what is the alternative to this?
286
Is it a two -state solution we can do this
287
and after the two state solution they can create any kind of cooperation
288
or the political unity it's up to them
289
but what we need to do urgently is
290
that we need to seize the moment
291
and we need to use every historical opportunity to turn Cyprus into a heaven because other regional countries,
292
other literal countries of Mediterranean, they are doing huge investments on tourism, on economy, on industry.
293
Stop isolating Turkish Cypriots.
294
We can start having a quality cooperation.
295
And while freezing the political problem, So we can enjoy all together from economic development,
296
regional development, exploiting the energy, exploiting the tourism, industry, and everything together.
297
But sticking to the old objectives and mentality is not helping us in addressing this issue in a positive way.
298
So this is the message that we are trying to give them because the society has been conditioned in a way...
299
so long that is, you know, very difficult for politicians to take a U -turn.
300
But somebody has to tell the truth.
301
And somebody has to be brave enough to voice the truth about the realities on the island
302
and the opportunities that we are missing altogether.
303
And the risks that we are creating because of the existing de facto situation.
304
Foreign Minister of Turkey, Hakan Fidan, Your Excellency, thank you so much for joining us on TRT World for this one -on -one.
305
It's been an absolute pleasure.
306
Thank you, thank you.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
