“Decisions to recognize Palestine will add momentum to the two-state solution”

Holding a press conference before departing for the U.S. to attend the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly, President Erdoğan said: “What distinguishes the 80th session of the General Assembly from others is that many countries will recognize the State of Palestine. We hope these decisions to recognize Palestine will add momentum to the implementation of the two-state solution.”
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan held a press conference at the State Guesthouse of Atatürk Airport in Istanbul before leaving for the U.S. to attend the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly.
“What distinguishes the 80th session of the General Assembly from others is that many countries will recognize the State of Palestine. We hope these decisions to recognize Palestine will add momentum to the implementation of the two-state solution. What is more, it is extremely pleasing for us that the new administration of our neighbor Syria, which won freedom with the December 8 revolution after a 14-year-long bloody and dark period, will also be there,” President Erdoğan said.
