The world is bigger than five
The world is bigger than five (Turkish: Dünya beşten büyüktür) is a politic doctrine expressed by current president of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. The "five" in the sentence refers to the five countries which are permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. These five countries' veto right is the doctrine's main objection. Tayyip Erdoğan, argues that these five countries are deactivating United Nations,[1] and mentioned the UNSC's failure on creating solutions and making peace on Palestine, Syria and other places.[2] Erdoğan, uttered the doctrine first time in 2013,[2][3] and mentioned that in his speech on 74th United Nations General Assembly, New York.[4] The doctrine enters down to textbooks.[5]
A rapper nicknamed as Ek'rem published "The World is Bigger Than Five" song in 2017.[6]
Analysis
Some scholars noted that the Erdogan's approach is also related to the unfairness between nuclear-armed states and the non-nuclear armed states,[7] and the criticism of EU and NATO.[8]
