[Republic of Türkiye Directorate of Communications @Communications]

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who is in New York for the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly, met with United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres at the United Nations Headquarters.

Stating during the meeting that the genocide committed by Israel in Palestinian territories is a new source of shame for humanity, President Erdoğan remarked that the international community must act with one voice to stop Israeli massacres.

Stating that Türkiye closely follows the genocide case filed against Israel at the International Court of Justice and would take part in it, President Erdoğan said that the conditions in Gaza are becoming even more severe with the approach of winter, diseases are on the rise and that, therefore, more efforts should be exerted to increase humanitarian and medical aid to Gaza.

Stressing that the Turkish Cypriot side demands its rights, such as sovereign equality and equal international status, to be registered and that possibilities for solutions other than the federation model could be discussed in a meeting under the auspices of the UN with the participation of the parties, President Erdoğan pointed out that the recognition of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus as a state would be the key to a solution that takes into account the realities on the island.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan:

"Hey, UN Security Council, what are you waiting for to prevent the Gaza genocide, to say 'stop' to this cruelty, this barbarism?"

“We believe that the brutal murder of innocent people by Israel in hospitals where they go for treatment, in ambulances, in marketplaces, in centers where humanitarian aid is distributed, and in areas defined as safe is the gravest violation of human rights.”

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will visit the United States on July 9-11, 2024 to attend the NATO Heads of State and Government Summit in Washington.

At the summit, which will coincide with NATO's 75th anniversary of establishment, views will be exchanged on the organization's endeavors regarding deterrence and defense in the face of challenges and risks to the Alliance's geography, as well as the situation in Ukraine and assistance for that country. Steps taken to combat terrorism, one of the main threats to the Alliance, will also be on the summit agenda.

The President of Ukraine, representatives of the European Union, and leaders of NATO's partners in the Asia-Pacific region, including Australia, Japan, South Korea, and New Zealand, will also attend the relevant sessions.

President Erdoğan is expected to hold bilateral meetings with some participating heads of state and government on the summit's margins.

[Fahrettin Altun @fahrettinaltun]

Once again, our Syria policy intends to arrive at a peaceful resolution of the conflict. This is imperative for stability and peace in the region. We will continue to treat human beings honorably regardless of their backgrounds. We have every intention of leaving a legacy that future generations will be proud of. We will not give into fear and xenophobia. We will continue to fight against racism and Islamophobia. We will do this both because we believe in it and because it is the right thing to do.

Under the leadership of President Erdogan, Türkiye will continue to be a force of stability and peace in a turbulent region. This is what everyone can be sure of. At the same time, it remains an imperative to create the conditions in Syria for the safe return of refugees. All relevant actors must work together to make this a reality for the sake of stability in the region, Europe and beyond. We call on especially the Western countries to practice what they preach through cooperation and burden sharing.

[Fahrettin Altun @fahrettinaltun]

Our country has been hosting millions of refugees of many different backgrounds for many decades now. Regional conflicts have caused displacement of millions in our region and we have acted responsible to respond in a humanitarian manner. We continue to insist on a humanitarian approach because we believe in the dignity and freedom of people who have been victims of conflict and even targeted by their own governments.

Turkish people have been extremely compassionate and generous with their support for those who have been given no choice but to leave their homelands. Our people have sacrificed a lot and supported their brethren in the region generously. In line with that spirit, our foreign policy has remained committed to humanitarian principles despite many pressures and provocations of all sorts. We didn’t let fringe opposition groups to turn this issue to inflame anti-immigrant sentiments. We will not allow external actors to exploit some grievances to dictate our policy, either.

In recent days, those who want to stain our record and our humanitarian approach to refugees are working hard to depict our country as a hostile place. It is true that there have been occasional tensions and unfortunate incidents in our country but they do not amount to a widespread and sustained anti-refugee wave. Those who are arguing otherwise are either clueless about the facts or they are participating in an ill-fated disinformation campaign against our country.

The contrast between the security oriented, xenophobic and Islamophobic approach adopted by many European countries and the humanitarian approach of our country could not be clearer. Türkiye has proudly and consistently stood against the European far-right that has been showing an ugly face of Europe in their fight against immigrants and refugees.

Some political groups in Western countries have been practicing a disturbing level of hypocrisy by preaching human rights while tolerating anti-immigrant sentiments and xenophobia. We have been witnessing the unraveling of the social and economic fabric of Europe as a result of the far right’s destabilizing rise. The recent campaign against our national football team’s player Merih Demiral during the European Football Championship is just another symptom of this growing disease in some Western nations. Those nations that seek true stability and are serious about living up to the humanitarian principles they preach must stand with Türkiye and confront the forces of racism, xenophobia, and Islamophobia.

Our policy is to end the conflict and rebuild a Syria that has its territorial integrity intact with its citizens living in peace and freedom. To accomplish this, we need to build the humanitarian and legal infrastructure for the safe return of refugees. The International community has failed to focus on this goal and refused to meet the generational challenge of human displacement in our region. We have expressed our willingness, time and again, to work with the like-minded organizations to address the issue of burden sharing but we have received very little support so far.

At the same time, we are fighting against provocations and disinformation campaigns on the issue of refugees and our country’s policy. The public must only trust the accurate information released from our government’s sources and be vigilant against disinformation campaigns. Türkiye will remain adamant about creating the conditions for peace and stability in our region and we will never ignore the humanitarian plight of the people in our region. And we will never apologize for sticking to our principles even if others fail to do so.
