Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will distribute copies of his book, titled A Fairer World Is Possible, to world leaders at the United Nations General Assembly.

The leaders will receive translations of the book, state-run Anadolu Agency reported.

According to the agency, the book "draws attention to problems with the UN, such as shortcomings in terms of legitimacy, inclusiveness, efficiency, representation, and governance."

Erdoğan has long been calling on the UN to reform itself, while suggesting that the number of permanent UNSC members should be raised to 20.

The book was translated into English, French and Arabic.

Before heading to the U.S. on Sept. 19, Erdoğan told reporters that the sales are "not bad."
