From the very outset of the Arab Awakening, Turkey has taken a principled stand on the side of legitimate and democratic aspirations. Aware of our special role as a historical partner and, more so, as a source of inspiration to those demanding their rights and freedom, we felt particularly compelled to do so.
自阿拉伯觉醒运动伊始，土耳其就坚定地支持民众的民主合法诉求。意识到身为历史性合作伙伴甚至权利自由追求者力量源泉的特殊作用，我们越发感到有义务这样做。
