President Erdoğan: “We Need to Be Strong”
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, emphasizing the importance of being strong at the meeting organized by the AK Party Rize Provincial Organization, said, “Just as we entered Karabakh, just as we entered Libya, we will do the same to Israel. There is no obstacle for us not to do it. We just have to be strong.”
Referring to Turkey’s economic successes, Erdoğan said, “There is a Turkey where our gross national product has reached 1 trillion 411 billion dollars. Our exports have increased to 250 billion dollars. It will be better.”
Turkish Cypriots Cannot Be Separated From The World
The book, “Who is to Blame? Today Cannot Be Considered Separately from the Past” published by the Presidency’s Directorate of Communications, aims to provide a historical perspective on the Cyprus issue. In his introduction to the book, President Erdoğan described the Cyprus issue as “one of the most complex phenomenon in the field of international relations.”
Recalling the Cyprus Peace Operation, Erdoğan said, “Turkey carried out the Cyprus Peace Operation on July 20, 1974, with the aim of protecting the Turkish Cypriot people and establishing peace on the island.” He drew attention to the fact that there was no UN Security Council resolution that would justify the isolation of the Turkish Cypriots from the world by focusing solely on the 1974 events regarding the Cyprus issue.
