Erdogan expresses hope that all those who advocate peace will back his 'historic' appeal.
Erdogan emphasised Türkiye's peace efforts in Syria, urging the US and Iran to welcome these positive developments and support the process to end immense suffering.
On Türkiye’s peace efforts in Syria, Erdogan said: “US and Iran should welcome these positive developments and support the process to end immense suffering.” "We have been striving for years to extinguish the fire in our neighbor, Syria," said Erdogan, referring to the over decade-long Syrian civil war, which sent millions of refugees into Türkiye and created a power vacuum near the Turkish border that terrorist groups tried to exploit.
President Erdogan last week signaled a new diplomatic peace initiative with Damascus, suggesting a potential invitation to Syria's Bashar al Assad. Commenting on Israel's devastating war on Gaza, now in its ninth month, Erdogan said: “What those who want to stand on the right side of history need to do is recognise state of Palestine. A fair, just approach requires this.”
President Erdogan also protested restrictions by Germany on defence industry sales, saying such restrictions among NATO allies ill befit the NATO alliance.
