In this episode of Talk to Jazeera, Al Jazeera’s Sami Zeidan talks
to Ahmet Davutoglu, the Turkish foreign minister, about Ankara’s
re-energised foreign policy.

Davutoglu explains that Turkey’s increased diplomatic activity in
those areas where it believes it has "special responsibilities"
is aimed at establishing a new order "based on the understanding of
common security for all, political dialogue to resolve questions and
conflicts, economic interdependency … and multicultural co-existence
and harmony".

He goes on to discuss his country’s relations with Israel, Iran and
Armenia and Ankara’s wish for a nuclear-free Middle East.

This episode of Talk to Jazeera aired from Monday, October 26.
