“The geography of our heart reaches from Syria to Afghanistan”
The Turkish president claims that his country is an “island of stability”
“However, when we look at the geography of our hearts, our souls ache from Gaza to Syria, from Yemen to Afghanistan, unfortunately our brothers and sisters are living this period of Ramadan, they are living it in pain, blood in fire. The war between our two neighbors on the Black Sea, Russia and Ukraine, has been going on for two years. In many European countries there is a fear of the war spreading to their own territories.
