The international conference entitled “The Alliance to Prevent a Great War,” organized by the World Civilizations Initiative Research Center, was held at the Meyra Palace Hotel in Ankara on 18–19 July 2026.
The conference, which featured presentations by speakers from Azerbaijan, Belarus, France, Germany, Greece, Iran, Italy, Japan, Russia, the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), Türkiye, the United Kingdom, and the United States, was attended by approximately 200 distinguished invited guests. Ministers, members of parliament, ambassadors, retired generals, scholars, politicians, diplomats, military officers, and experts examined the question of the “Alliance to Prevent a Great War” from a wide range of perspectives. The views on which a broad consensus emerged may be summarized as follows:
- The threats that could lead to a Great War originate from the United States and Israel. The US-Israeli attack on Iran, the United States’ military buildup in Ukraine and its use of proxy forces against Russia, Israel’s genocide in Gaza, and its attacks on Lebanon are regional wars that carry the risk of triggering a Great War, including through the use of tactical nuclear weapons.
- The United States threatens world peace through its hegemonic approach and its desire to use NATO as an instrument. The countries being targeted—Russia foremost among them—do not, in fact, pose a threat to Europe. What would serve global security is not the restructuring of NATO as “NATO 3.0,” but its complete dissolution. In this way, European countries would also free themselves from the new and heavy burdens imposed on NATO members by the United States.
- In addition to reflecting an objectively necessary requirement for all four countries, this strategic alliance would serve as a solid foundation for opening the way to other regional partnerships and alliances dedicated to preserving global security. It would also provide an environment that facilitates the consolidation of the domestic fronts of the Developing World and strengthens solidarity among peoples.
- One of the factors that undoubtedly prevented the United States and Israel from resorting to nuclear weapons in their attacks against Iran was the nuclear umbrella provided by Iran’s partnership with Russia and China. Had a strategic alliance among Türkiye, Russia, China and Iran already been established, it would have made a US–Israeli attack on Iran impossible from the outset.
- Security in the world represents a need not only for the countries and peoples placed in the crosshairs of the United States and NATO, but for all humanity, including the Atlantic countries. An alliance among Türkiye, Russia, China and Iran would also provide a solid foundation for the formation of a FRONT OF HUMANITY against a Great War.
- The process of collapse within the Atlantic System has also led to the degeneration of all the values that Western civilization contributed to humanity during its period of ascendancy. The Emerging World, born from within the World of the Oppressed and centered in Asia, also represents the foundation upon which a new civilization longed for by all humanity is rising. Preventing a Great War that would obstruct the development of this civilization would avert the writing of a new and dark chapter in history.
- The speakers who participated in the Alliance to Prevent a Great War Conference from Asia, Europe, Africa and the Americas represented a broad political spectrum. Despite the general differences in their views and approaches, the commonality of their aspirations justifies describing this conference as a Eurasian Summit held in response to the NATO Summit convened in Ankara on 7–8 July 2026.
Respectfully submitted to the international community.
