President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan delivered a speech at the meeting of the Group of Parliaments in Support of Palestine in Istanbul.

 

“Defending the Palestinian cause is not only about defending an oppressed people. Defending Palestine means defending humanity, peace and justice as well. The Palestinian cause is a fight for honor by a people subjected to all forms of oppression, barbarism and massacres for nearly a century. Besides all this, the Palestinian cause, in essence, is a struggle to become a human and to remain a human. It is a cause that belongs not only to Muslims but to every person with a conscience. This cause, without doubt, is a matter of conscience beyond being a matter of politics,” President Erdoğan said.
