Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Tuesday that "it is impossible to find a solution to regional problems without Turkey's participation."

Speaking at the parliamentary group meeting of the ruling Justice and Development (AK) Party, Erdogan stressed that Turkey is not making enemies. "We are making friends."

"We see the meeting of Israeli President Shimon Peres, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Turkish President Abdullah Gul within the framework of Ankara Forum as an historic opportunity for peace in the region," Erdogan noted.

"Bombs cannot resolve problems. Peace does not come with bombs," Erdogan added.

Erdogan said the fight against terrorism will continue through diplomatic, political, military and economic means till a definite result is obtained, "nobody should have doubts about this," he added.

Erdogan said a promising future was waiting for Turkey after difficult days.

Erdogan said the nation became a whole heart after the latest acts of terrorism, "this is very strongly felt in the world," he noted.

"The government and the security forces endeavour to deal with terrorism by making use of all the resources of the state. Turkey is a very big state. It should think wise, act with common sense and assume a decisive stance," Erdogan said, indicating that the first target of terrorism is to form a chaotic atmosphere to make its propaganda and to destroy common sense.

"We will continue to deal with terrorism preserving Turkey's esteem in the world," he remarked.

Erdogan said Turkey has been fighting against separatist terrorism for nearly 30 years, and stated that terrorist organization tried to destroy friendship in the country but was defeated.

"We know that those people are less in number. I wish they correct their mistakes as this is a dead-end street," Erdogan said.

"Democracy and law are values that strengthen us in fight against terrorism. Every idea that is not based on violence and does not eulogize violence is valuable for us. This is politics. Solving the problems through dialogue and rules of law is what politics means," Erdogan said.

Erdogan said, "in some countries we have visited, they said 'minorities in your country'. When I asked who is this minority, they talk about my Kurdish origin citizens because terrorist organization described them as 'minority'.

"I told them that they are the fundamental elements of my country," Erdogan said and noted that none of the members of this country is considered differently so far. Minorities in this country is defined by Lausanne Treaty. There is no minority in this country apart from it."

Recalling that he visited Britain, Romania, the United States and Italy, Erdogan stressed that the talks were very important to discuss the joint measures against terrorist organization.

"I said acts of terrorism threaten public order of Turkey and national security and that we are at the point of self defense. I emphasized that we expect a tangible cooperation from the United States," Erdogan said while giving information about his meeting with U.S. President George Bush.

"I particularly underscored that problems in the region and weakness in administration were for the benefit of the terrorist organization. No measure could so far be taken in north of Iraq despite our warnings. I also expressed Turkey's decisiveness on an operation," he added.

Erdogan underlined that the most important steps were the active steps, noting that the nation was waiting for those steps.
