In other words the President of Turkey tells America to shut up.
And it's about time.

Turkish President Abdullah Gul

Turkish President Abdullah Gul says the Georgia conflict has proved that the US could no longer control the entire world from one centre.
In an interview with The Guardian newspaper published on Saturday, President Gul said the conflict in Georgia indicated that Washington could no longer shape global politics on its own, and with other countries.

"A new world order, if I can say it, should emerge" and the United States should begin sharing power in a new world order, he added.
The remarks were made a couple of days after Russia pushed Georgia back from the breakaway region of South Ossetia. Georgia faced a harsh response from Moscow in its military action to retake control of the region last week.
"There are big nations. There are huge populations. There is unbelievable economic development in some parts of the world" the president said.

"So what we have to do is, instead of unilateral actions, act all together, make common decisions and have consultations with the world," Gul concluded.

More evidence that you just don't get it. Turks (like yourself) are thick. They're just not good at reading between the lines.

It’s so typical of Turkey to do so, this isn’t the first time they switch sides as soon as they senced some weakness, Turks can’t be trusted, now that the bull is standing on its feet Turkey hides the knife, but if the bull was down they would be the first rushing to slaughter it.

I think he's trying to get on Russia's good side now that they seem stronger, appease the majority opinion in Turkey which is mostly anti-American, and maybe make a little show for the Arabs and Iranians.

From PRESSTV:

You shouldn't get over-excited because Turkey will always choose the United States and Israel- the two latter being perhaps the main reason why Turkey exists as a country on the map- over Russia.

And this is an anti-American news coming from an Iranian news channel so I'd rather check it with some other sources as well. In any case, I do not care much if Guls or Erdogans express some 'anti-American' rhetoric from time to time (which is purely for show as ArmSurvival said) the good news is that the Islamists strengthen their positions in Turkey and it will be much much easier to dismantle an Islamic Turkic state.

I don't think there is any reason to check it. I am sure he said it. There has so far been a statement of support for Russian action, a blockage of an American ship headed for Georgia at the Dardannelles, and now this.

It started with turks bringing military hardware to the Georgian side at Batumi, and then utter silence. Now that the dust cleared they are brewing something.

Perhaps they feel threatened for their advancements in the Caucasus and feel that Georgia is a lost cause and western investors would seriously reconsider any plans they had for Georgia as an "east-west" transit route.

Perhaps they don't want to be left out of the "South Stream" project?

All speculation, but obviously something is up. If the US doesn't take any kind of hostile action against turkey (Genocide resolution) -- then we know that these "pro-Russian" statements are done with a wink and a nudge to Washington.

We'll see.
