As reported by Manolis Kostidis, the Turkish president said about the pogrom against the Greeks of Istanbul that “the mechanism that wanted to stage a coup against Menderes made the events of September 6 and 7”.

Erdogan said: “The policies of Menderes and the Democratic Party, which brought the nation and the state closer together, upset the privileged minority, who saw this country as their inherited property. This discomfort began to manifest itself from 1956. The coup mechanism button was pressed with the events of September 6-7. Subsequently, provocations, fights, protests and all kinds of tensions that exacerbate social differences appeared in various provinces of our country.”

“War” between Turkey and Israel

Attack of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs against Erdogan: “You are a dictator, you kill Kurds and you have Northern Cyprus under his control.”

For its part, Ankara accused Israel of “slaughtering Palestinian civilians”

“You will be tried in international courts”

Turkey’s Foreign Ministry said: “Israeli Foreign Minister Katz’s disrespectful tone and baseless accusations against our President are a futile attempt to change the agenda regarding the crimes committed by Israel in Palestine.

It is the Netanyahu government that has killed nearly 40,000 Palestinians since October and brutally slaughtered dozens of innocent Palestinians in an attack on a tent camp last night (May 26). Anyone complicit in these crimes will be tried in international courts. As Turkey, we will continue to defend the justice and rights of the Palestinians.”
