Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan promised yesterday, a day before U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken was expected to arrive in Ankara, that Türkiye will never abandon the Palestinians, that Türkiye has an obligation to “save Palestinians from Israel’s oppression.”
“It is our duty to stop the bloodshed in Gaza, which is being carried out in front of the very eyes of the international community,” he said at a local inauguration ceremony in the Black Sea province of Rize, reported Anadolu Agency. “We are doing and will continue to do more than what is visible.”
Türkiye will never forsake its brothers and sisters in Gaza, he promised. “It is our historical responsibility to call out the crimes of those supporting this immoral, unscrupulous, despicable massacre (in Gaza),” Erdogan added. “It is our humanitarian duty to pursue the killers who are taking the lives of children, mothers, and innocent people all over the Palestinian territories, as well as the thieves who are plundering the possessions of the oppressed,” Erdogan said on X on Nov. 5. “Furthermore, it is our historical responsibility to point out their crimes wherever we encounter those who support the perpetrators of this immoral, heartless, and despicable massacre,” Erdogan added.
