One Minute: Excerpts from speeches delivered by Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, President of Turkey

Just as the life-span of a butterfly is merely forty days, and just as it can shape the destiny of the world in such a short existence, so too can a miniscule minute also be the reason for beauty in the lives of billions.

We have experienced many instances in which we were left powerless as a state, but we always knew to protect our honor. Our Prime Minister also protected the dignity of both our nation as well as that of humanity during the Davos Summit in 2009, and exclaimed the bare facts in the face of history.
He saved our dignity because no one can make belittling and insulting statements against the Prime Minister of a country and call him a liar. He provided Peres, who had called him a liar, with the necessary answer.
