The forum will look into many economic and political issues, the impact of the Arab revolutions, and most notably the situation in Syria. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, and presidents and prime ministers of many countries, including Tunisia and Jordan, are participating in the forum. Reporter, Male #1 Three years after boycotting the World Economic Forum after his famous argument over Gaza with Israeli President Shimon Peres in Davos, here is Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan achieving what he aspired to at the time. He is hosting the Economic Forum in his economic capital, Istanbul. In attendance are nearly one thousand prominent economic and political figures from over 70 countries. Guest, Male #2 (Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkish Prime Minister) There is no doubt that conflict, war, displacement, and terrorism in any country directly impacts neighboring countries. Turkey's initiatives on some regional issues, and speaking out about some other issues, never imply we wish to interfere in the affairs of others. Rather, it expresses our concerns over our neighbors' problems, and our desire to contribute in solving them. Reporter, Male #1 Over the course of two days, the forum is expected to look into many global economic and political issues, most notably energy and the world crisis that is still casting its shadow on many countries in Europe and the world. It will also look into the Arab Spring, and its economic impact on the countries of the region and the world, and discuss concerns over the regional and global implications of the political crisis and turmoil in the Middle East. Guest, Male #3 (Hamadi Jebali, Tunisian Prime Minister) It has had a great positive impact. Tourists visit countries that are democratic, more than they visit dictatorships. Maybe during the first phase some believe there is turmoil, but at the end of the day they encourage democracy, and I am certain of it. So its impact is positive on the economy, on investment and on tourism as well. Reporter, Male #1 The World Economic Forum, renowned for its annual summits convened in the mountain resort town of Davos in Switzerland, is convening in Istanbul to discuss the affairs of the Middle East, North Africa, and Eurasia. This comes as Turkey has positioned itself as an important location on the world's economic map. Reporter, Male #1 Turkey has managed to isolate itself from the political and economic malaise reverberating across its borders, as its economy grew by 8.5 percent, posting the second fastest growth of a world economy after China. Reporter, Male #1 While the head of the World Economic Forum is offering Tayyip Erdogan to return to Davos and forget about the past, leaders of the Turkish government believe the time has come for Turkey to leave its political and economic mark, not only in the region, but the world.
