Policymakers from the People’s Republic of China, Russia, Iran, Egypt, and Palestine have called for a united front to stop ethnic and religious persecution in the region.

They also condemned crimes against humanity committed by Western forces in Gaza, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, and Iran.

This was at the Black Sea and Eastern Mediterranean Conference, organised by the Center for National Strategy (USMER), held in Turkey.

The delegates also condemned Western countries for their actions in waging hybrid wars and attempting to maintain regional hegemony.

Chairman of Turkey’s Vatan Party, Dr. Doğu Perinçek, identified American imperialism, Israeli Zionism, and Ukrainian nationalism as primary forces of global destabilisation.

“Humanity must unite in opposition to the destructive ambitions of the American-Israeli axis,” Dr. Perinçek said.

Former MP of Turkey, Ayhan Bilgen, identified NATO expansion as a central global threat and argued that Türkiye should end its association with the alliance.

Participants echoed dissatisfaction that the West continues attempts to maintain regional control through sanctions, military intervention, and proxy warfare.

They called on countries in the Global South to reject unequal partnerships with Western powers and instead build equitable alliances with nations such as China, Russia, and Türkiye.

The two-day event brought together 28 distinguished experts, scholars, and policymakers from over a dozen countries to shape a vision for a more balanced, multipolar world order.

The conference explored a wide range of pressing geopolitical issues, including the defense of state sovereignty, the right of nations to self-determination, and the increasing threat posed by the geostrategic ambitions of the United States–Israeli alliance.
