Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reaffirmed on Wednesday his country’s support for Syria and its territorial integrity.
Speaking to journalists on his way back from Azerbaijan, where he attended a summit of the Organization of Turkic States, Erdogan said that Turkey will not accept any attempts to undermine Syria’s unity.
“The territorial integrity of Syria is essential for Turkey, and it is impossible for us to accept any attempts to undermine this unity, we will continue to stand by the Syrian people,” Erdogan was quoted by Anadolu Agency as saying.
Regarding the situation in Gaza, Erdogan stated: “Our priority is to achieve an urgent and comprehensive ceasefire in Gaza Strip, and it is necessary to deliver humanitarian aid to the Strip as soon as possible.”
Turkish President emphasized that Israel’s attacks on Gaza Strip are a violation of international law, describing them not as self-defense but as genocide and systematic terrorism.
