Dr. Kayhan Barzegar (continuing…): With these short comments, I would like you Mr. Ambassador to start with this question: to what extent do you think that the coup will impact Turkish regional policy, especially regarding battling Daesh or ISIS?
Because what we are seeing for the first time in this very short time after that night is that the sense of unity inside Turkey's role which will help our stability and of course, in order for any country to play any positive role in its region, I think the first issue is the domestic stability.
